090131 ER research labs

Architectural research developed within jma is a practice-oriented research; while integrating forms of related fields, it focuses on the project (Entwurf) as a process, the most appropriate form to the practical profile of UAS. The main architectural research axes are:

  • the architectural project (Entwurf) as a process and practice
  • sustainable development as architectural and territorial practices
     

The jma training introduces students to architectural research and allows the connection of practices and discourses to R&D projects in collaboration with teachers.
The teaching takes place in "laboratory situations": the subjects, methods and means used in projects (Entwurf) and seminars are directly related to the axes and / or research projects.
External researchers (local and international) are involved in these forms of education.

The jma is involved in the establishment of networks of architectural research at the level of UAS (Fachschaft), Switzerland (Architekturrat) and international (EAAE).
