Leonhard Betz, who is studying at the school’s Unit 2/3F, has been honoured with the Annual Architecture Masterprize in the category “Restoration and Renovation” – congratulations! 👏

Leonhard Betz`s project designs new communal housing in Gedved, and it revolves around the concept of “democratic space”, emphasising a design that does not impose a specific lifestyle on its inhabitants.

The project aims to create housing that encourages diverse residents to gather and communicate. It also seeks to preserve the existing values of a traditional farm by prioritising repair wherever possible.

Additionally, the design incorporates an ecological mindset, promoting sustainable construction practices that facilitate “maintenance” in the future.

I fredags samledes alle 111 førsteårsstuderende for at tegne ét træ i skala 1:1.

Gennem analog tegning med kul på store papirflader gik de på opdagelse i karakteren af et vildt æbletræ, Malus Sylvestris, og brugte kunstneriske metoder til at fordybe sig i naturens former og udtryk.

Workshoppen er den del af opgaverne relateret til læringsfelterne Naturindsigt og Kulturforståelse, hvor vi undersøger, hvordan en dybere forbindelse til naturen kan styrke vores indsigt i biodiversitet og klima.

In search of the extraordinary room // Studio 2E has made a series of spatial plaster casts. They have cut them open to reveal unpredictable spaces and voids. They have then examined and scrutinised the spaces and presented them to each other and put them on display as a new promenade of architectural extraordinary rooms.

The workshop is part of their semester projects and reinforces the core of Studio 2E`s work "Making", as the architectural idea and its making are inseparable.

Studio 2E focuses closely on materials, structure, construction and technology.

🤩 STUDIEPRAKTIK 🤩 Vi har besøg af 104 gymnasieelever fra hele landet i denne uge. De prøver arkitektfaget af. Dejligt at se entusiasmen i grupperne - og forhåbentlig ser vi mange af dem igen til optagelsesprøven 🙂🤞

🕌🕌Study trip🕌🕌 Delaminating Istanbul Second-year students engaged in a deep mapping process, building on the foundational knowledge gained in the first week of the course “Transformation, Cities and Buildings.”. This enabled them to uncover the complex, interwoven layers of this complex city and to delineate their individual insights at both urban and architectural scales. They collaborated closely with the khasedutr UNESCO Chair, which aligns with our focus on transformative practices, and a logistical support from the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
The interactive “Deep Map” is on display right now in Project Room 1.

2/2 - postkort fra kurset Natural Processes in Architecture. Godt 120 studerende har de seneste uger undersøgt, hvordan arkitektur og naturlige processer som varme, lys og luft spiller sammen med arkitektur.

I grupper har de studerende produceret billeder, der forsøger at vise disse sammenhænge i forskellige bygninger i Aarhus. Sammenhænge, som ellers kan være svære at gøre synlige.

Her er de sidste 8 af gruppernes billeder.

Kurset er en del af skolens nye curriculum.
