Final Report: Green.Building.Solutions. - Online-Summer University 2021

(c)Final Report GBS 2021

The Green.Building.Solutions. (GBS) Summer University offers first-hand sustainable architecture knowledge and engineering expertise bundled into an intensive three-week academic summer program based in one of the world’s most liveable cities: Vienna. This UNESCO-awarded program addresses a broad range of professions such as architecture, planning, engineering, construction, facility management and project development.
 

GBS is organized by OeAD student housing in close collaboration with BOKU University and TU Vienna, along with a variety of other partner institutions. It showcases the Austrian in-depth expertise in ecological construction and urban planning to a constantly growing international audience.
 

2021 was special –The GBS was once more held as an online-course – again under challenging global pandemic conditions. 46 participants from 30 nations and 10 time zones around the world completed the program successfully. The virtual program 2021 was – just like in its first virtual instalment in 2020 – a huge success evidenced by the quality of the project design work outcomes and by the very positive feedback from both students and the lecturers involved. With complementary backgrounds and notions in the fields of architecture, environmental management, energy engineering and urban planning, this year’s participants produced high quality projects dealing with the specialist topic of “Transition of the Otto Wagner Area in Vienna under the aspects of sustainability, energy efficiency and heritage protection: design of a new multi-purpose pavilion and refurbishment of the old pathology building into a museum".
 

Building on the success of those experiences, we strive to facilitate the participation of an ever-expanding online audience from remote countries. It is currently planned that GBS will be held in person and online for the 2022 edition.
