Project S
The design challenge is to integrate architectural and building physics aspects and to achieve a balanced building design.
Unit: Architectural Urban Design and Engineering
Project M
Students design an observation tower, looking both into the structure – ensuring stability, how forces are distributed, which materials used, what columns and beams size – and into the architectural design – what does this tower look like, which spaces are needed, how do you design the framing of the views.
Project L
In this project you learn to conduct academic research into a city neighborhood or district. Based on the outcomes of this research you create a basic urban plan and design for a real estate (re)development.
Sufficiency Consultancy
This studio considers how increasing climate instability and economic inequity encourage us to reconsider both the means and ends of design practice.
Hilversum, Garden City of Tomorrow
The Garden City aimed to create an alternative for both urban and rural living. An exemplary case in The Netherlands is the town of Hilversum, in which the ideas of the garden city were employed on the scale of an entire town, under the supervision of city architect W.M. Dudok.
AUDE Project 2: Program & Type
The second project focusses on the spatial organization of a building with a complex program in a specific urban context.
AUDE Project 1: Making & Structure
The second year Design project-line is aimed at expanding students’ basic knowledge and skills of architectural and urban design.
International Spring Academy Ruhr 2025: In Front of the Central Station
The yearly International Spring Academy Ruhr hosted by the TU Dortmund is a collaborative urban and architectural design workshop bringing together architecture students and teachers from across Europe.
Multidisciplinary project
A practical assignment designed to train students in solving problems with a high level of complexity.
Architectural Engineering
In this course, we explore material qualities and possibilities on one hand, and architectural intentions on the other, to arrive at inspired architectural specifications and materializations.
