The guiding idea for our third semester was:
“We need to rediscover the essence of the meaning of 'the use'.
Architecture is, above all, here for a better living."
Seeing that the Erasmus+-Project is a European project, we adapted this quotation by Christian de Portzamparc to “The EU is, above all, here for a better living”. We then set out to discover how both architecture and the European Union can have a positive influence on our daily lives.
Here are a few insights into the different activities and results.
