The existing 25 design studios for Bachelor and Master students in Architecture present a variety of positions and methods that aim at synthesizing the evolving conditions of the world around us, into thought, action, proposals for buildings and environments that are, in themselves, new forms of knowledge. Each of these positions contributes the specific expertise to our schools’ focus on:
1. Answering the Challenges of Climate Change
2. Fostering Digital Forms of Craftsmanship
3. Shaping Future Environments
4. Making the Past Productive
5. Empowering Design and Construction
The D-ARCH is looking for upcoming, speculative, and innovative positions engaging with the challenges facing the future of the built environment. Send us your teaching statement on maximum one page describing how you want to engage with pressing topics, such as re-use, aesthetics, climate emergency, composition, housing shortage, tactility, parity, construction, inclusivity, space, care, expression, etc. and how they will shape the architecture of tomorrow. The statement should also include a teaching methodology to engage with the students and prepare them to be responsible actors in the future of the discipline of architecture.
One independent architect or architectural collective will be selected to teach a design studio with ca. 25 students on campus for two days a week as Guest Lecturers for the duration of two semesters between Fall 2027 and Spring 2029.
Additionally, regular intermediate reviews as well as public final presentations with external guests should promote an exchange between the different students and faculty members and contribute to the dynamic, interdisciplinary and multi-faceted teaching environment at the Department of Architecture.
