Design & Make with Wood
TDC Erasmus+ Project Booklet

Studies by scientists show that the biggest changes on climate have occurred in the last 20 years. The nature destroyed by man hand, gas emission and many other factors are shown among the causes of climate change. It is stated that the structures produced with materials such as reinforced concrete, steel and glass, which increase in the field of design and architecture, cause environmental destruction, and it is known that classical reinforced concrete structures cause 40% of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. The structures produced with natural materials such as wood and adobe instead of steel and cement, which are the basic materials of construction, and the use of natural wood in these structures are strongly recommended by scientists working in this field. It has been stated that wood, known as the most important carbon catcher in the world, is also very resistant to natural disasters such as fire and earthquake, is very light, does not collapse easily, and even if it collapses, it does not kill the people inside.

That's why we care about encouraging young people to use wood in shelters and living spaces for the world of our future in the fight to be made against the global climate crisis and natural disasters, which is our common agenda of the world, and spreading this awareness to all relevant people and institutions through young people. We aim to draw attention to the use of wooden structures in post-disaster reconstruction areas and urban transformation services, to advocate for influencing the policies of the Ministries, to contribute to the education curricula, and to develop international joint platforms and projects in this field at the European level. Within the scope of this project, 30 young people from partner countries will develop 5 product Prototypes (such as pavilion, resting area, kitchen, wc) in groups with natural/recycled materials such as wood, clay, straw or glass bottles in a nature-friendly ecological area. These young people will produce and build the Post-Disaster Temporary Unit with know-how activities.
