ESUA Phase I

The first phase of the ESUA project lasted for about two years from 01.10.2006 until 15. December 2008. The initial project was named ESUA - European School of Urbanism & Architecture. The total project size of this phase was EUR 631.150, of which EUR 391.312 had been awarded in funding by the Leonardo da Vinci Lifelong Learning Program of the European Union.

The main result of the project is a five year curriculum for architectural education in accordance with European certification requirements. The starting point was existing curricula of the educational partner institutions. The development of the new curriculum was based on five test modules in key areas:
  1. Built heritage, sustainability and future of design and construction with stone (Italy)
  2. Building restoration and related craft skills (Romania)
  3. User participation in the "charrette" design process (Norway)
  4. Built heritage, sustainability and future of design and construction in wood (Norway)
  5. Sustainable urban design (Germany)
This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.
