DesignBuild PROJECT

Idea, planning, implementation - from a single source

For many years, we have been supporting committed student self-build projects and DesignBuild initiatives worldwide. This classic is the heart of our architecture competition and promotes practice-oriented construction with social added value. Students are given the opportunity to realize their own building ideas – from planning and execution to the finished architecture.

Our funding strengthens the next generation of architects and creates space for experimental construction, sustainable building, and interdisciplinary teamwork. This results in innovative building cultures worldwide that make resilience and sufficiency in architecture tangible and demonstrate new ways of participation and open space design.
