Students' work - weel under way

2 February 2012

A full year master course is conducted in collaboration with the housing company Riksbyggen and Johanneberg Science Park around an actual venture building flats, within the project “Positive Footprint Housing”. The houses will have a positive footprint in the environment ecologically as well as socially. The course is part of Chalmers’ master program Architecture and Urban Design and gives the students the possibility to integrate experimental investigations into the design process.

During this spring, the students will present their results and as early as next week, you can take part of their work when the design programs will be discussed. The course will also offer open seminars with focus on Material and Social Sustainability. Course responsible is professor Morten Lund.

All events are taking place at Chalmers ,Campus Johanneberg, Göteborg.
