Elective: clay constuction workshop in Kommern
The Rhenish Open Air Museum in Kommern, about 40 km south of Düren, houses buildings and farmsteads from the Eifel, Westerwald, Lower Rhine and Bergisches Land. In order to preserve the buildings, damaged frames are rebuilt with clay using the traditional construction method: hazel rods are woven around oak beams and then covered with clay; finally, the surfaces are compacted. The practical handling of historic building fabric and historic building methods is interesting for architects as well as for preservationists. Architecture students perform the work under the guidance of the Museum's carpenters and masons.
