F2f Continuum (www.f2f-continuum.eu) is a Lifelong Learning Erasmus Multilateral
Project under the broader umbrella “Cooperation between Universities
and medium-sized enterprises”. F2f-continuum, in particular, aims at
putting together schools of architecture and small to medium-sized enterprises
to exchange research results, information, ideas, techniques, methods, and expertise
in the domain of design-to-manufacturing. It is a two-year, EU-funded
programme, potentially renewable.
The Partners
The schools participating are schools of architecture. Namely, Aristotle
University School of Architecture is the coordinating institution, and partner
schools are the National Technical University of Athens School of Architecture,
the Bartlett, University of Central London, the Technical University of
Delft School of Architecture, the University of Catalunia Valles School of Architecture,
the Technical University of Vienna School of Architecture, La Sapienza
School of Architecture, Rome, the University of Applied Sciences School of
Architecture Liechtenstein, the School of Architecture in Lyon, and the School
of Architecture in Grenoble. The last two schools represent in the first contractual
year an innovative centre based in France. The centre, Les Grandes
Ateliers de l’Isle d’Abeau, is an institution of 13 schools of architecture, civil
engineering and the fine arts that share a purpose-built edifice that has the infrastructure
to accommodate student workshops to experiment with real materials
on 1:1 scale constructions using innovative materials and/or construction
methods.
