What to expect in our Green Design Studio
(Pifko /Macháčová /Krajcsovics)?
In our design studio a:za we focus on sustainability, quality of the indoor environment, ease of operation and adaptability - the most current topics of the contemporary architecture. Our approach is methodological, not typological, combining the quality of the architectural concept with the environment-friendly design. The optimization of designs in terms of the concept of "green", "blue" or "smart" buildings is our goal. Professors in the Studio: Henrich Pifko (assoc.prof., AA SKA), Klára Macháčová, and Lorant Krajcsovics. If it is possible, we work together (students as well as teachers), and we try to keep together Slovak and English-speaking students too, supporting exchange of ideas, experience, approaches. If it is necessary, we are able to work online really efficiently, using interactive Zoom tool.
You can see results of such work in our Gallery. List of our English-speaking students is in the end of this page (if you want a reference, you can contact them), current studio assignment is bellow...
Current design task (winter term 2023/24)
For the winter semester 2023/24, the assignment of our English-language studio is the theme of the international student competition "Architecture Student Contest" in Helsinki: housing in the university campus Viikki (the same as the task for our Slovak students, we shall try to work together)... More info here. Studio assignment is identical with the competition design task, so you can participate in an important international competition without much of additional effort. We expect that you will work in pairs, sharing the workload.
