Large applied sciences university with green architecture group
Courses
Location
HTWK, or the University of Applied Sciences, is Saxony’s largest university for applied sciences and one of the largest in Germany. HTWK concentrates on a diverse range of engineering types, including mechanical and energy engineering (similar to courses 2 and 6 at MIT).
The Architektur-Institut Leipzig (Ai:L) group’s energie design team is dedicated to integrating light and energy-efficient buildings into urban environments. The group’s focus is to develop building materials to maximize the applications of the maxim “reduce-reuse-recycle” in the architecture and construction industries. A major goal of the group’s work is to increase the carbon neutrality of urban environments, use building envelopes to produce useable energy, and help the German state to reach its climate change goals. There is a primary focus on implementation in urban environments.
