Agenda

Day 2 Saturday, 15 February 2025

09:00-11:30 Ernst May House Tour

Join us on a guided tour through the Ernst May Hause to explore the ideas of the New Frankfurt housing settlement, one of the most important building programmes of the Weimar Republic program. Ernst May has been the head of the settlements for Frankfurt in the time of 1925 to 1930. In that time and as part of the program approximately 15,000 residences were built with the participation of architects such as Walter Gropius. The Ernst May House in Roemerstadt and the Ernst May Society document the architects’ work and ideas of affordable residences promoting a life in air, light and open space.

13:00-16:00 Visit to the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences; Presentations and Tour

The participants will have the chance to visit some parts of the University with more than 70 faculties and 15.000 students, attend a presentation and learn about the program at the Faculty of Architecture, especially the international orientation of the education and possible cooperations with public & private institutions. There will be also time for discussions, exchange of ideas and networking.

To avoid disappointment, please complete all registrations by Friday 7 February 2025.
