Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology | BIFT Architecture & Design Innovation Workshop
This Summer Design Studio is the third in a series of three workshops by environmental architecture students of the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology.
Every year the summer school examined Berlin under a unique theme. In 2017, 21st Century Housing Typologies were in focus, 2018 Urban Surface as a Social Media and in 2019 Common Spaces of the Berliner Hof. Partners: Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology
Universidad Diego Portales | Five aspects of the City of Berlin
Students from Universidad Diego Portales are analysing five aspects of the city of Berlin: parks, mobility, the river and its canals, the wall, and monuments, documenting their exploration in video format. Partners: Universidad Diego Portales
Living on Top of Tempelhof
Students explore a specific type of house and home that will be increasingly important in the future due to the changing way we are living and working: housing for urban nomads.
Partners: Manchester School of Architecture; TU Braunschweig; Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago de Chile
Unlivable Berlin – Housing for Inclusion
Students are asked to consider what it means to accommodate those that are marginalised, forbidden or unaccounted for, and to redress cultural hostilities through architecture and urban thinking.
Partners: University of Melbourne
University of Kentucky – Architectonic Characters in the City: Berlin
Students of the University of Kentucky explore the intersection of digital design and urban innovation and create interactive, animal-inspired installations in Berlin's Tiergarten and groundbreaking housing prototypes for Schumacher Quartier. Partners: University of Kentucky
JUST LIVING: Housing Models for the Future
Students explore housing models of the future and new strategies to adapt our habits of living and working to increasingly changing circumstances.
Partners: Confluence Institute for Innovation and Creative Strategies in Architecture, Paris

Partners: The Why Factory, TU Delft, IKEA Stiftung, Hofheim-Wallau
Housing Models for the Future
Students work on innovative housing typologies for Berlin.
Partners: Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago de Chile;
The Perfect City Block: How Do We Want To Live Together (In The Future)?
The participants are asked to build their perfect city block and elaborate on the relationship between social, economic or cultural backgrounds, environment and pollution, political stability, social cohesion, and the role of urban design through fictional scenarios and abstract models.
Partners: Bucerius Summer School, ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius, Hamburg
Unlivable Berlin
The studio addresses the question of how a city expresses its hostilities and how, as architects, can we foster cities of inclusion. Architecture, landscape and urban design students are asked to consider what it means to accommodate the excluded, and to redress cultural hostilities through architecture and urban thinking.
Partners: University of Melbourne, IKEA-Stiftung, Hofheim-Wallau
