The students of the Master of Advanced Ecological Buildings and Bio-cities hosted in the facilities of Valldaura Labs in the municipality of Cerdanyola del Vallès, developed a prototype of a “Quarantine Cabin”, a small construction designed for self- isolation which could be considered as one of the first km0 constructions made in Catalonia. Throughout the year, students participated in the tasks of sustainable forest management that are carried out in Valldaura according to the approved Forest Plan.
The entire project is made of wood of the forests of Valldaura, which has been fully traced from its place of origin, so that it is possible to know with precision from which tree and location any board of the structure comes from. The prototype was presented on September 4 at the end of the master’s program. The students developed much of the work in a corona-virus-induced confinement.
