Arkitrek Camp

The Arkitrek Camp gives a team of passionate designers a client and a live project brief in an challenging location in Borneo. The program is intense and in a short period of time the team must write their design brief, conduct socio-environmental surveys, complete the design process and build their proposals.

The experience will bridge the gap between theory and practical application, giving students new skills and confidence. Professionals will find this an inspirational break from their desk job. All projects are sourced to complement the Arkitrek philosophy of working responsibly in natural areas and building capacity for rural communities to implement sustainable design.

The Camp is open to all students, graduates and professionals in the construction industry or anyone who has an interest in sustainable development and nature conservation.
