Practical self-construction workshop for the structural recovery of a ciabòt. The ciabòt are small land units, scattered throughout the Alta Langa, whose use was deeply connected to the activities of the fields. They consist of a single functional cell.
In Alta Langa, compact and calcareous sandstone is used both for terraces and for roofs and walls of buildings, both public and religious, both rustic and civil, with similar techniques. In spite of their simplicity, therefore, the ciabòt can be considered the minimum unity of the constructions of the territory, from which they take back constructive characters and technologies.
The tutors:
Fernando Gallo. Master craftsman who for over 70 years has worked the stone of Langa for the construction of dry-stone walls, vaults, load-bearing walls and even objects of various types.
Merlino Zeldenthuis. Master carpenter, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht, he has travelled all over Europe and he has chosen to build his house in Piedmont.
