Winter School 2026

Turn circular ambition into tangible practice.

The Winter School returns this November. Spend four half-days with our experts and leave with solid answers you can build your projects on. Across these 8 thematic sessions, we'll cover the full spectrum of low-impact building: structure, foundations, interior fit-out, envelope and regulation.

Few professionals still need convincing of the transition. The harder question is how to move from ambition to practice: which materials are available today, how to tell ecological fact from fable, and what they cost.

Each morning can be taken on its own or with the other three as a pack, and you receive the documentation at the end of the training. For professionals with some experience, ready to shift up a gear.
