Abstract:
During the Fall semester 21/22, an experimental collaborative design studio has been held between the Institute for Architecture and Design, Hochbau 2 at TU Wien and the Department of Architecture and Design of Abu Dhabi University. Students from the course Sustainable Design at ADU, and the Space Architecture design studio of TU Wien have been coordinated in mixed groups for a project named Lunar Oasis – Architectural Visions for an Integrated Habitat.
Within this collaborative design studio students explored opportunities, limits, and constraints related to the design, construction, operation and implementation of integrated life-support and greenhouse technologies for a habitat in an isolated and extreme environment. The goal was to explore possible solutions in the context of an intercultural and cross-disciplinary design process and transform them into an innovative architectural project.
Within the joint studio, students from 24 diff erent countries worked in 11 mixed teams, each consisting of 4-6 students. In 2022, the projects have been presented at the EXPO Dubai, the Copuos - Unoosa conference in Vienna, and the IAC in Paris.
