From The Author of the Acacia Seeds
and Other Extracts
&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; And with them, or after them, may there not come that even bolder adventurer — the first geolinguist, who, ignoring the delicate, transient lyrics of the lichen, will read beneath it the still less communicative, still more passive, wholly atemporal, cold, volcanic poetry of the rocks: each one a word spoken, how long ago, by the earth itself, in the immense solitude, the immenser community, of space.

From Studies in the History of the Renaissance 
&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Like the elements of which we are composed, the action of these forces extends beyond us; it rusts iron and ripens corn. Far out on every side of us those elements are broadcast, driven by many forces; and birth and gesture and death and the springing of violets from the grave are but a few out of ten thousand resultant combinations. That clear, perpetual outline of face and limb is but an image of ours, under which we group them - a design in a web, the actual threads of which pass out beyond it.

From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Yet one standard product of the scientific enterprise is missing. Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none. New and unsuspected phenomena are, however, repeatedly uncovered by scientific research, and radical new theories have again and again been invented by scientists. 

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; The practice of normal science depends on the ability, acquired from exemplars, to group objects and situations into similarity sets which are primitive in the sense that the grouping is done without an answer to the question, “Similar with respect to what?” One central aspect of any revolution is, then, that some of the similarity relations change. Objects that were grouped in the same set before are grouped in different ones afterward and vice versa. Think of the sun, moon, Mars, and earth before and after Copernicus; of free fall, pendular, and planetary motion before and after Galileo; or of salts, alloys, and a sulpuhur-iron filing mix before and after Dalton.

From The Immense Journey
&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; A billion years have gone into the making of that eye; the water and the salt and the vapors of the sun have built it; things that squirmed in the tide silts have devised it. Light-year beyond light-year, deep beyond deep, the mind may rove by means of it, hanging above the bottomless and surveying impartially the state of matter in the white-dwarf suns.

Yet whenever I see a frog’s eye low in the water warily ogling the shoreward landscape, I always think inconsequentially of those twiddling mechanical eyes that mankind manipulates nightly from a thousand observatories. Someday, with a telescopic lens an acre in extent, we are going to see something not to out liking, some looming shape outside there across the great pond of space.

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Whenever I catch a frog’s eye I am aware of this, but I do not find it depressing. I stand quite still and try hard not to move or lift a hand since it would only frighten him. And standing thus it finally comes to me that this is the most enormous extension of vision of which life is capable: the projection of itself into other lives. This is the lonely magnificent power of humanity. It is, far more than any spatial adventure, the supreme epitome of the reaching out.

List of Materials (Non-Exhaustive)Thatching is a vernacular building craft, that developed with local land-use and building practices, thatching techniques have developed in direct dialogue to local ecologies and climates and the craft of thatching requires intricate knowledge on the life of plants. A pre-industrial trade, its reliance on time and skilled-labour contributed to its demise, the additional sigmatisation from the large fire-risks associated with thatched roofs and mechanisation of harvesting techniques which destroyed the straws suitable for thatching and made cereal ricks and stacks redundant.&#38;nbsp;

Its temporality and direct connection to the natural world give this craft a new-relevance in the post-carbon, regenerative future we need to achieve. We exist because of plants, and plants have the means to restore balance to the natural world. It is therefore of utmost importance that we relearn the ecological connections clearly illustrated by plant-based and biogenic building materials, and we find ways of using these materials in the buildings that will serve the future.&#38;nbsp;

British Thatching Materials:


Combed Wheat Reed, Longstraw, Water reed (the most durable), are the most common thatching materials used in Britain. Heather, Marram Grass, Bracken &#38;amp; Turf are lesser known thatching materials used in the UK.

Needs to be grown without high-inputs of nitrogen to
avoid soft growth – prone to fungal rot in thatch.



Requires threshing with pre-1950’s
farm machinery to avoid mechanical damage of stalks.



Triticale wheat is
grown and used by UK thatchers because it lasts longer than wheat grown using
pesticides. Triticale is a hybrid of&#38;nbsp;wheat&#38;nbsp;(Triticum) and rye (Secale) first bred in
laboratories during the late 19th century in Scotland and Germany.



Newer varieties Maris Widgeon and Maris Huntsman wheat –
commonly used in the UK for thatching. Tall, strong straw grown organically. (grown
for straw and wheat). More problems than older varieties.



Hazel spars – used to secure layers of
thatch.
Danish Thatching Materials&#38;nbsp;The most common material for thatching in Denmark is Tagrør or Common Reed ( Phragmites Australis) with a growing interest in using Miscanthus. It is common practice to import Water Reed for thatching in Denmark, as it is often thought of as better quality.&#38;nbsp;
Longstraw (Rye) (Halm) was traditionally more widespread due to its availability as an agricultural by-product and a large procentage of Danish population living as farmers.&#38;nbsp;
In Læsø a unique vernacular thatching technique using Eel-Grass has been developed.&#38;nbsp;
Other Notable Thacthing Materials
Totoro Reeds (Uros Floating Islands, Peru)
Palm
Broom (British Isles, Souther Europe)
Elegio Tectorum (Cape Thatching Reed, South Africa)
Mesopotamian Marshes (















Reeds, rushes, papyrus, willow used in Mudhif construction)



Fast Growing Woody Plants (Hazel, Willow, Alder)
Future Thatching Materials (For ecological restoration &#38;amp; regeneration)Perennial Grains: Perennial Wheat, Perennial Sorghum (similar to Millet). Perennial Grasses: Miscanthus

Paludiculture: Plants cultivated in wet-lands. Cattails (Rushes, Typha), Reeds (Common Reed, Phragmites Australis), Perennial Cane,
Alder (Timber), etc.

Carbon capture through regenerative agriculture and use of existing bio-mass bi-product in building has potential for atmospheric draw down of carbon and for ecological restoration. This is an extremely complex topic, and affects agriculture, energy, materials, building, land-use and biology sectors. There is a move from degenerative agricultural pratices, to practices whereby growing supports soil quality, carbon capture and bio-diversity. More research into perennial crops and grains, and above-below ground ecological connectedness have been important in driving this change, which now needs to be supported by legislation and the procurement and market structures that shape agriculture and land-use globally.&#38;nbsp;

07h00: Yoga (Optional)
07h30: Breakfast08h30: Fieldwork: Growing for Building&#38;nbsp;Agronomist Janne Dinesen leads an immersive field &#38;amp; meadow wandering, soil underfoot and surrounded by growth she will present the agronomic aspects of cultivating crops for thatching. Why should farmers grow for building? This will include a short contextual history, and current agronomic status, crop types, challenges &#38;amp; possibilities, environmental, climatic &#38;amp; biodiversity aspects of culitvation.12h00: Lunch
13h00: Material: Building with Plants 




















Cross-cultural dialogue led by
Local Works (UK) &#38;amp; local Danish thatchers (Stråtagets Kontor) this dialogue
will consider the vernacular heritage of thatching and the possibilities of
thatching to contribute to a regenerative future for the Built Environment. How
is thatching linked to local context, climate and land-use. How have thatching
traditions developed as different expressions of living reciprocally with the
landscape. What advancements in understanding of plant species might mean on
thatching crafts?
13h00: Jørgen Kaarup from Stråtagets Kontor (DK) will give a visual presentation of thatch and thatching materials, seaweed, straw, water reed and miscanthus and show examples from Laesoe, Denmark, Holland, China and Japan, leading us to the growing of miscanthus in Denmark and the chances of improving the growing of water reed in the new wetland areas in Denmark.
13h30: Local Works (UK) Present Case Study:&#38;nbsp;



















Building with Plants in Broadridge Farm,&#38;nbsp; Devon, West
Country, UK.&#38;nbsp;

















Local Works will present two drawing exercises, how they looked at a site in Devon to
explore potential material palettes and their viability for use in construction
of new farm buildings and repair of existing.





14h00: Dialogue on Building with Plants. Based on the presentations from agronomist, thatcher, maker &#38;amp; builder perspective, we will discuss opportunities and obstacles of growing &#38;amp; building with plants.






15h00: Tea
15h30: Building: Reparative Ecologies13h00: Djernes &#38;amp; Bell will give a short presentation on Making Good &#38;amp; Making Do and their thoughts on reparative ecologies in architecture and care, repair, maintenance and craft as drivers for regenerative change.
13h30: Dialogue with participants on how growing building materials might inspire reconnection to the earth, plants and other beings that metamorphasise together to make our world.&#38;nbsp;14h00: Local Works will lead a mapping exercise on Landscape Layers. With focus on geology, ecological habitats, land use, culture/habits/routines? We will look at current
crops and landscape bi-products, building &#38;amp; craft typologies (vernacular
&#38;amp; current, that use thatch). Participants will do this landscape mapping on Dinesen’s farm and the larger local context. Thinking, mapping and drawing together.&#38;nbsp;
Finally, we will look to the
future, considering together the barriers and solutions to growing, procuring
and building with regenerative plant-based materials and identifying
opportunities for the future.



The purpose of this exercise is to
fulfil some of the promise of this project, to promote synergy between
practitioners and realise the potential for new perspectives, ideas and
solutions.







18h30: Dinner&#38;nbsp;
19h30: Stories: Weaving Ways
Emmy Laura will present ways of working and thinking with more-than-human architecture and landscaping. She uses weaving, environmental history, poetics, and cultural geography to query human practices of landscape care, repair and connection.&#38;nbsp; 
 As an experimental ritual we will plait/ weave/ braid local plant fibres to try and achieve a greater connectedness.&#38;nbsp;
Sunday 13 November 202207h00: Sauna (Optional)
07h30: Breakfast08h30: Making: Weaving, knotting, threadingLocal Works will lead the practical making activity, which is inspired by the woven interior lining of early rural sleeping alcoves. 08h30: Local Works &#38;amp; Djernes Bell will present inspiration for the Making exercise.08h45: The thatchers &#38;amp; Local Works will show some knotting &#38;amp; stitching, and give thatching craft based tips.
10h00: Making Activity
12h00: Lunch13h00: Making: Weaving, knotting, threading
We will continue the afternoon with practical activities relating to weaving and knotting interior structures. This will be hung and exhibited on the drying-rungs in the atrium of the residency. Hands-on tactile contact to the various thatching, weaving materias should inspire dialogue and thoughts on the next steps for growing and building with plants.
 Harvest to House/ Høst til Hus invite participants to reflect and return with ideas for the next steps or experiments towards agricultural &#38;amp; architectural &#38;amp; ecological harmony.

15h00: Tea15h30: Packing Down &#38;amp; GoodbyeOrdering, tidying and home making. All hands on deck to return the Residency to its pre-inhabited state. Good-byes and sharing contact details.

		<description>Dinesen X KADK Summer SchoolA collaboration between Dinesen and The Institute of Architecture &#38;amp; Culture and the Royal Danish Academy. Summer School has been running for 4 years in the format of a design &#38;amp; build farm-stay in Southern Jutland. With the participation of 20-25 students and a range of teachers, artists, and makers from various disciplines and across cultures, this open and situated practice with a focus on the forces, motivations and manifestations that have been and are being developed in rural contexts. Placing the rural as the central question has enabled a unique dialogue across architecture, land-use, building-crafts, agriculture, plants &#38;amp; people, which has resulted in a collectively formed complex of curiously altered agricultural buildings &#38;amp; sheds that form home to a new Residency program hosted by Dinesen X KADK.&#38;nbsp;
