The programme is organised around an ambitious range of design studios, which run every semester and vary in scale and complexity. The culture is one of curiosity, creativity and collaboration, and you will work hands-on from day one, applying everything you are learning into concrete, real-world scenarios. These studios cover diverse topics like and exploration of different materials, and are often carried out in close collaboration with external partners. Sweden has a strong international reputation for progressive and ambitious policies for the climate, and Gothenburg itself has the goal to become a climate neutral city by 2030. The city is in the midst of substantial urban transformation, making it a perfect place to practice architectural design in. There is a rich mixture of contemporary design challenges, including regeneration of ports and waterfront sites, and a focus on modern construction methods with wood and other biomaterials. |
