Reflective Urban Practice

Since 1999, in cooperation with outstanding, worldwide “model project partners”, we have been offering a targeted practical and reflective experience in the Master’s programme that is tailored to our students: with the “international model projects”, a large variety of working areas in urban planning, urban research, strategic urban planning and architecture are covered, mostly under the aspect of sustainable, integrated urban development. The projects are presented annually at the International Forum of Model Projects.

Together with renowned institutions and experts, the International Model Project Forum 2019 reflects objectives and challenges in current urban development and design, considering existing gaps between practice and theory. Dedicated to international knowledge exchange and good practice the forum celebrates 20 years of »Model Projects«. The praxis-based module focuses on application-oriented research, cross-boundary experience and urban strategies and is convened through the bauhaus.ifex.
