The aac Academy for Architectural Culture is a private, non-profit organization, located in Hamburg and founded by the architects von Gerkan, Marg and partners. With research studies and intensive courses held throughout the year, the aac is dedicated to finding solutions to relevant architectural issues and the further education of young architects from different cultures.

Through public symposiums, exhibitions and book publications the academy’s working results are made available for discussion with decision makers, and in particular, the general public.

A scholarship for every participant is available to cover the workshop fees and costs for all working materials. The accommodation for the entire time of the workshop in Hamburg will also be covered entirely by the scholarship.
