Resilience at scale

Project MA - Architecture and Timber Construction
Interdisciplinary Project Architecture and Civil Engineering
Winter term 26/27 (15 ECTS)

Building projects in the field of critical infrastructure are becoming increasingly important in the face of multiple crises and rising demands for security of supply, resilience and safety. In the winter semester, we will therefore be dealing with a ‘Center for Civil Protection’ in Munich as our design brief. The design project examines what the civil protection infrastructure must look like in the coming years in order to be able to respond flexibly and resiliently to crisis events, and what role timber as a building material can play in this. The focus is on developing a civil protection center as a hybrid typology. The aim of the project is to develop a future-proof building type that functions as a central interface between emergency services, the administration and the public, and makes an active contribution to adapting to the consequences of various crises (including climate change).

The interdisciplinary design project takes place in groups consisting of two architecture students and one civil engineering student.

We are delighted that the best ideas and concepts will once again be honoured with the Munich Architects‘ and Engineers’ Association's sponsorship award as part of the final presentation this semester.
