Martin Rath works as an architect in the sector of programming and site development.
With programming one can analyse by a close and methodical evaluation the coherent values, aims, facts and needs of the constructor, the users and the affected public. This process takes place in the so-called “Phase O”, immediately at the start of a project. It serves to confront the complexity of the task and to weigh up the potentials in preparation. In his speech Mr Rath conveyed some of the workshop techniques to the students and discussed the structure and contents of the planned workshops in Sri Lanka together with the students.
