The participative shelter construction site at the "ecosphere" farm project near Rietberg in Germany is part of my "Gestaltung" master's project "Common Shelter". It should also be a stepstone to empower climate friendly travels, by bike and foot, and make it easier. Last building weekend we got the front roof laths ready and started with the side walls. They are also nearly finished. You can read more in our construction diary: https://shelter.apgw.de/?lang=en#2026_06_12 If you are in eastwestfalia next weekend and like to help us, you may come to the possibly last phase of this shelter building art project. From saturday june 27 to monday june 29. Many informations are here: https://shelter.apgw.de/?lang=en#master Our plan is: 0. If it's too hot: Go to the near "Sennebach", find a place in the shade, cool down in the water. 1. Fix the roof edge and glue a permanent EPDM foil onto the roof + layers of green roof plants. 2. Build the last side and back walls. 3. Create a front edge from oak wood and paint linseed oil varnish on the inner floor. #shelter #travel #climate #community #art #building #bike #hike #HSBI #Bielefeld #EcosphereOWL
