Design Studio as laboratory for interactions between architectural education and society

Design Studio has always been the backbone of architectural education, the driving force of architecture development and the nucleus of architectural debate.

Today’s society confronts us with demanding questions for which no preconceived solutions are available. This calls for socially aware design experimentation. Can the studio raise this new awareness, preparing future architects to become agents of transformation?

This conference is framed as a studio in itself. It entails practice, education and research. The participants are invited to question, inquire and debate the relationship between architectural education and society.

Every second year since 2004, the VELUX Group has invited students of architecture to participate in the International VELUX Award. The award challenges the students to explore the role of daylight in architecture and inspire new thinking and the award has grown into what is the largest competition of its kind for the architects who will shape the buildings of our future.

Since the first award, some 5,000 students from more than 80 countries have submitted more than 4,000 projects on the award theme “Light of Tomorrow”. Regional winners of the 2018 award will be invited to present their projects at the World Architecture Festival 2018 in Amsterdam.
