After the introductory studio project in the first semester, the Typology Studio, the following studio projects are offered by the different chairs of the architectural faculty.
These selectable design studios are re-scheduled each semester by the program coordinators and partially coincide with the regular English study program of the other Master’s program in Architecture. Below you’ll find an overview of all design studios offered for the summer term 2020.
“Home” and “Family” are concepts that are naturally closely related. How can an environment be conceived for children and young people who do not grow up in a “family”? How can a “constructed” community meet the needs of children, and young people? What makes a home? What makes a family? These questions are the starting point for developing a relevant architecture. Again, we will work with an existing building in Berlin that can be transformed and/or added to.

The area around the Ostbahnhof between Spree and Karl-Marx-Allee is a patchwork of different urban fragments. Due to various current plans, major urban development changes are expected around Ostbahnhof in the coming years.
The design studio, Entangled Communities Ostbahnhof is looking for visions of a new neighborhood oriented towards the common good and mixed uses. To achieve this we will explore the interests of existing actors and possible future communities in various scenarios in order to facilitate a community-oriented and empowering planning and design. The community concept will be explained from a more-than-human urbanism perspective and deepened in the complaining PIV. The objective is to include non-human actors who live on-site, to understand and incorporate their needs into the design concepts.
We ask what qualities on a spatial, organizational, ecological, economic, and social level are needed by the different human and non-human actors and how these can be combined in a vision for a neighborhood around the Ostbahnhof.
According to the principle “No Design without Community – No Community without Design”, the design will serve as a base to discuss the further development process with the district and interested actors and communities. We will exchange ideas with LokalBau and the Beziksamt F-Hain/X-Berg and our designs will build on and challenge their envisaged scenarios in the area.

The Bauhütte 4.0 initiative aims to support the curation of a Wood to City value chain for the Brandenburg/Berlin region. The long-term goal is to promote wood as a construction material in response to the climate crisis. We invite students to develop innovative concepts for dynamic master planning as well as for wood construction design and production processes and to test these in the context of the Bauhütte 4.0 initiative.
