“I strongly believe architecture is a tool to improve lives. As architects we do have power to influence the society and to make a change. Rather than exploiting our planet’s precious resources, we can be sensitive and graft what we find locally.”

In the first semester in Linz, you will work on four to five short design courses, including theory, individual specialisation and hands-on inputs.
Design + On-Site Experience (20 ECTS), on a BASEhabitat construction siteIn the second semester, you will be on an international construction site, develop design details and build with your own hands and on a one-to-one scale.
Master Thesis (30 ECTS), not bound to a certain locationIn the third semester, you will write your master thesis under the supervision of one of the guest professors, which gives you the chance to develop your individual research and design project.
“With BASEhabitat I am strongly sharing a passion of raising awareness of how architecture can tackle the global challenges nowadays. These challenges become more and more significant due to the increase in poverty, war and migration on our planet.”
Jan Glasmeier
“Resource scarcity, environmental pollution, climate change, and resulting mass migration and conflicts are current global challenges that are forcing us to radically rethink the way we live and work.”

“My focus is on empathic engagement in architectural design. I think this is THE WAY to practice as an architect: Produce locally attached, sustainable architecture with an impact.”
