A contemporary agenda for a school of architecture
In a two-day symposium with lectures and workshops, six selected international teachers and architects will present their approaches and ideas for practising and teaching architecture. They describe different horizons of today's architectural education as examples.
On the first day, the speakers will present their respective teaching approaches in short lectures in the context of a symposium. On the second day they will work in parallel workshops together with MSA teachers, staff and students in order to identify and describe important points of a further developed and diverse architectural education, based on their own experiences and the input of MSA. These approaches and topics can then form the basis for a possible further developed architectural education at the MSA.

The workshops will be equally staffed by teachers, staff and students. Interested students can sign up for the list at the Dean's office. Since not all interested students may be able to participate in the workshop, we will send you a confirmation at the latest in the week before the workshop. Although this is a project of the dean's office, students have to clarify individually with the teacher if they wish to be released from classes.
