Presentation
The ENSA Normandie woodworking and model workshop is a necessary part of the initial training in architecture. It allows students to approach materiality and volumes in three dimensions.
This space offers students tools for handling wood and its derivatives, as well as the appropriate hand tools. In addition, a manager supervises and advises on the realization (study models, structural models, renderings, details, plastic arts works, furniture, prototypes).
