Study projects

Projects and Events

The aim of the interdisciplinary approach in the study programme is to provide students with a holistic view of integrated approaches to urban development and to apply appropriate methods. This is implemented in a "Study Project" in the second semester, which is interdisciplinary in nature and where students practice their acquired skills on current topics with the guidance of professors. The study project focuses on a specific problem solution and combines scientific analysis methods with design and creative skills. The students' teamwork skills are promoted through collaboration in international teams. This page shows projects results, as well as excursions and events that took place within the scope of the Study Project. Furthermore, other events and smaller workshops are listed here.

  • Students win award at EUROPAN 15!

    Our students from the Master programme  Advanced Urbanism (IUDD) win runner up award with a metabolism-based planning proposal.

     

     

    The runner up entry for the Europan 15 for a project in Borås, Sweden was won by Alexandra Kashina (RU), Husain Vaghjipurwala (IN), Johan Nilsson (SE) and collaborator Franziska Dehm (DE) with their entry Plugin to Produce.

    With Plugin to Produce, the aim has been to derive a system where multiple metabolisms of the city can be introduced or subtracted when necessary. The important task here is to keep the citizens or the dwellers in control and aware of these metabolisms by merging the flows of knowledge into everyday life. Unfiltered, the productive city showcases - how a lively city is being consumed, inhabited and shaped. The project is located in the textile town of Borås and juxtaposes the above ideas into the post- industrial landscape of Gässlösa.
