Corona forced all of us to rethink architectural education. New formats have been developed. However, it also seems that this could push a cultural shift in education, with potential implications for architectural practices. What are the opportunities that appear from such a cultural shift? Is it conceivable to shift a creative design process into a virtual realm of peer to peer networks with people sitting wherever? Does this require a formalization of a design process and does it provide the opportunity to integrate research questions into this process? What is the potential for an internationalization of our architectural faculties? These questions will be discussed with members of the BauHow5 Universities.

MONTAGSREIHE is a series of lectures at the Department of Architecture at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The series contributes to a public discussion about architecture between professionals, students and friends of architecture.
