From 2014 to 2020 students in the second semester of the design seminar had to deal with the topic of housing. With the help of different exercises, the students were encouraged to break with their familiar ideas of living which they had learned over a long period of time and to develop new living concepts. Building on their experiences, questioning what they had learned and absorbing new knowledge based on case study models, the students in different years designed from terraced houses to multi-storey apartments in a residential tower.
