The department introduces itself

Dear students,
Welcome to Department 06 Architecture - Urban Planning - Landscape Planning (ASL)! Here we teach and research how we can design architecture, cities and landscapes in tomorrow's world in a sustainable and innovative way - project-oriented and interdisciplinary across the degree courses and institutes. Workshops and laboratories are available for practical work. Through international programs and collaborations, we offer opportunities for intercultural exchange. With excursions, practical semesters and the FUSION lecture series, we focus on professional practice and incorporate social challenges into planning and design. Our semester exhibition "Rundgang" is the highlight and conclusion of each semester - students and lecturers present their projects and work here. We wish you a good start to a successful degree course!
