The First Interational Workshop of Architectural Design with Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture/Czech Republic, HAWK Hildesheim/Germany, and Hogeschool Utrecht/The Netherlands is taking place from 12th to 30th of May, 2008 in Hildesheim.
20 Students of these three Universities are working in groups. Together they find solutions for spatial design problems concerning to the old goods station of Hildesheim and an surrounded area.
Meanwhile different approaches were visualised in models and scetches the groups performed during the first two weeks. Every group is supported and motivated by tutors, who are teachers and lecturers of the three involved universities.
But not only work - inspiration also is part of this workshop. So excursions to Wolfsburg, Goslar, Frankfurt, Gropius' Fagus works in Alfeld, Hannover are completing the education of the students and giving new ideas to the tutors. A presentation in-between was held last Friday to the citizens of Hildesheim during a one week university fair located in the historical marketplace.
The workshop will have its finally presentation at the end of the week. It is planned to push it up to a continuing sequence of workshops for the next years.
