Prof. Dr. Konrad Nübel and Mathieu Wellner will engage with students in the summer semester in the "Master Class in Construction Management," discussing with experts topics including conflict management, communication, and mediation. Additionally, the seminar will explore the complexity of Munich's pedestrian zone as a case study.

“Schwanthalerstraße Promenade – Transformation of a Thoroughfare”: Under this title, an exciting seminar took place in the summer semester. Students engaged with Prof. Dr. Matthias Ottmann and collaborated with UNStudio, sharing experiences from the “The Green Mile” project in Amsterdam, exploring Munich's Schwanthalerstraße. Involving stakeholders and local voices, they examined the urban space and its central role in the development of the southern railway district. Through workshops at TUM Venture Lab Built Environment and group work, measures were developed to create added value in Schwanthalerstraße. The outcome includes a brochure filled with insights and ideas, and this video. We thank all participants!

The growing interest on web3 developments and metaverse concepts is driven by technology/ social media/ game engineering companies. Though 3-dimensional immersive environments have been part of architectural practice in the past decades, architects remain rather absent in the discussions on building a metaverse. The metaverse design lab seeks to raise awareness in higher education in architecture and foster the engagement and active involvement of architects in a field, which could fundamentally redefine the future profession and practice. It is a testing ground for interdisciplinary work to uncover potentials as well as gaps in current higher education for architecture. In designing the real world, architects, civil engineers and urban planners are taking significant responsibility for buildings, urban quarters, cities and open spaces. With the advent of the metaverse a new area is opening up for designing and building immersive experiences. What role will architects, civil engineers and urban planners play in developing jointly with game engineers, programmers, web3 experts, VR/AR specialists and others these new virtual worlds. What responsibility shall they take, what definition of a metaverse will they foster, and what opportunities will they seize? Discuss in an interdisciplinary three-days design workshop these questions. Define a concept of a metaverse for creative and sustainable human interaction in a frame of 10x10x10. Prototype the metaverse using your tools of architecture, engineering and design. Present your 3-dimensional model at an international conference in Munich with world-leading experts from web3, gaming, 3D animation, visual effects, sociology, management and architecture with the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG).

At the Chair of Design and Architecture by Prof. Uta Gaff, architecture students under the supervision of visiting professor Martin Pool will explore vertical housing forms in timber construction during the summer semester of 2022. The current planning of the Garden Quarter in Unterschleißheim by our partner company DV Immobiliengruppe serves as a case study. A publication on the project is available at Prof. Uta Graff's chair.
