Erasmus+ project: Confronting Wicked Problems; Adapting Architectural Education to the New Situation in Europe

01.06.2015

Enabled by the Erasmus+ project ‘Confronting Wicked Problems; Adapting Architectural Education to the New Situation in Europe’ the Delft Department of Architecture / Chair of Public Building have been invited to organise in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano and Ion Mincu Technical University in Bucharest a one week workshop focusing on Sustainability in Architectural Design. 

Parallel and within the same Erasmus+ application there were also workshops addressing the issue of ‘heritage’ and ‘architectural education and professional knowledge’ at other European architecture faculties. The sustainability workshops hosted 10 students from Delft and accordingly each 5 students from Bucharest and Milano. The workshop’s point of departure was the acknowledgement that architecture as an education, a discipline and a profession has to redefine and release its potential for problem-solving and innovation within a new economic, societal and ecological context. Architectural design is here understood as an integrative activity and a means to imagine, plan, project, realize and communicate the architecture of the city for a sustainable and inclusive society in Europe.

The results of this workshop are presented in a booklet
