An on-site visit to the U2 underground construction works revealed the technical and spatial challenges of building large-scale infrastructure beneath the city.
Our excursions offer students hands-on insights into materials, technologies, and real-world construction practices. Through guided visits to production facilities, workshops, and active building sites, students gain valuable exposure to the practical side of architecture and construction. These experiences are complemented by short seminars held in collaboration with selected industry partners, following a foundation of introductory lectures.
