Gundari was designed to blend seamlessly with this context – not only in its physical manifestation, such as its minimalist volumes and material choices, but also in its perfect synchronisation with the island’s slow way of life.

MEDS workshop “Meetings of Design Students” is an international workshop that takes part each summer in a different country, focusing on various issues, themes, topics and settings that will help any designer expand their expertise. It is a chance to get in touch with diverse approaches to design, different building techniques, traditions, and skills. MEDS workshop is both practical and educational because it focuses not only on crea-tive theoretical designs, but actually compels participants to execute these designs during the 2-week span of the workshop.

Past workshops have taken place at Turkey, Slovenia, Portugal, Ireland, Serbia, Romania, Belgium, and Lebanon.
