StickBuilt
Birmingham, AL
Ongoing
A non-profit offering of Stick’s research arm, StickBuilt is an annual invitation to inhabit an ad hoc community of designers immersed in the work and play of practicing architecture without walls. While living and working in the woods alongside the Little Cahaba River, participants engage with the uniquely instructive challenge of visioning, making, and improvising with wood in real time at 1:1 scale.
StickBuilt believes in the simple, clarifying power of stepping outside. Outside of doors, in the most literal sense. Outside of conventional architectural institutions, outside of conventional architectural perspectives, outside of conventional architectural motivations. Outside of ourselves, and into the spontaneous sweep and flow of creative community where new ideas and viewpoints collide and combine in unpredictable ways.
The next StickBuilt will take place May 20-24, 2025. See and learn more on the StickBuilt homepage.
