history

The Academy for Architectural Culture was founded in Hamburg in the summer of 2008 and began teaching on September 1st of that year.

By the end of 2017, seventeen workshops on topics at the "interfaces between architecture, art and society" were held in cooperation with various partners, at the beginning irregularly and since 2013 in a fixed cycle with a spring or summer and an autumn course.

As part of the 15th International Architecture Biennale 2016 in Venice, the aac presented its history and teaching approach with the exhibition future practice. practice future.

Teaching

The aac curriculum is organized in block courses lasting several weeks. In this limited time frame, the course participants work on an architectural or urban design task in competing group work. The topics related to this are developed against a concrete planning background from current, publicly discussed and relevant questions of building and planning. In addition, methodological questions of design will be the focus of individual workshops in the sense of a separate research approach.

The courses are led by Meinhard von Gerkan and Volkwin Marg together with their office partners Nikolaus Goetze and Stephan Schütz . Experts from cooperation partners, from the construction industry and other universities as well as other architects complete the permanent staff as lecturers and guest critics. The intercultural and international exchange between the participants - architecture students, graduates and young architects from all over the world - is particularly important, and the language of instruction is English. For the course fees, the gmp foundation awards grants for which the participants can apply.

Effect and perception in public

The publication of its work results is an integral part of the aac. The final presentations as well as the accompanying lecture series take place publicly on campus. The materials of the workshops, background of the topics, participants and results are also documented in the aac's own publication series.

Starting with the three design tasks of the opening workshop in 2008, the courses were regularly echoed in the daily and specialist press. Examples of aac workshops, the drafts of which became part of public debates in this way, are TXL +, the showcase of an energy-plus city from 2009 for the subsequent use of Berlin Tegel Airport as part of the workshop process of the Berlin Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing, and the joint In cooperation with the Center for Information Technology and Architecture of the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen, the 2014 summer course on parametric design, in which sports buildings were designed in connection with Hamburg's Olympic application in 2024 . Two workshops in autumn 2015 dealt with a new building for a natural history museum in Hamburg. In 2016, the spring course was dedicated to the serial housing construction and structural redensification of inner-city quarters in Berlin. The autumn course of the same year worked out building designs for the planned Hamburg-Diebsteich long-distance train station . In spring 2017, the planned German Harbor Museum was the subject of a workshop in which the first drafts for the location on Kleiner Grasbrook were conceived. In September 2017, an urban planning workshop dealt with a former airport site in Tehran, on which a new city district is to be built.
