Infosession | Portugal - Cork Biodesign: Creative Approaches to Desertification in Southern Portugal

Please join Landscape Architecture Professor, Tiago Campos, for an infosession covering the Global Summer Studies Course, Portugal | Cork Biodesign: Creative Approaches to Desertification in Southern Portugal, on April 5, 2023, at 6:00 PM on Zoom.

In this 3-week, 3-credit summer course, we will learn about cork and its environmental issues related to water scarcity, ecological destruction and soil dilapidation, which are particularly visible in the southern regions of Portugal. The course will focus on the region around Évora, one of the most important rural and educational hubs in the south, and explore how cork can be used in creative practices engaged with digital and biomaterial fabrication.

The application for Global Summer Studies 2023 will open on March 1, 2023 at 7 PM and close on April 14, 2023 at 11:59 PM.
