The Faculty of Architecture at TU Graz celebrates the end of the semester on 29th of June, and issues an open invitation to the summer party with exhibitions, music and food. Entrance free of charge.

Students and teaching staff work together when the Faculty of Architecture of TU Graz presents students work from the year 2017/18 – with a wide range of thematic tours, music and food.
Under the title ‘Summer Party and Exhibition - GRAZ OPEN ARCHITECTURE’, the Faculty of Architecture celebrates two semesters of intensive work. The 13 institutes and technical drawing rooms are opening their doors for the fifth time at the end of the semester and will present students’ work which was carried out in the 2017/2018 winter and summer semesters. Live music, summery bars and good food will provide for a festive atmosphere at Campus Alte Technik starting at midday. Entrance is free, school pupils and of course students and everyone interested in architecture are cordially invited! Participating in the guided thematic tours alone is worth the effort.

From ‘Open city tour’ to ‘Tour of the first year of studies’

The varied programme with its diverse thematic tours starts at midday. At 10 am there are exciting experiments involving paper called ‘paper works’ for younger guests from four years of age. The ‘Open city tour’ at the Institute of Urbanism will put up for discussion the roles played by mobility, careful handling of resources, climate change and quality of life in current urban development on the basis of student and research projects. The ‘Städtebau’ tour goes beyond the confines of TU Graz Campus through the city of Graz by bicycle. Please bring bicycle! The ‘Tour of the first year of studies’ will give a compact overview of the important courses and work in the introductory stage of the bachelor’s programme in architecture. At 10 pm the party will go into extra time with a DJ line-up in the inner courtyard.
