“Activating Junkalor” is the task of Dessau Summerschool of Architecture in 2010. We will work on the abandoned Art Nouveau Hall in Dessau, a former plant of Hugo Junkers, the German aircraft pioneer and partner of Walter Gropius when Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau in 1926.
At present, deconstruction is going on at the neighbouring areas. Just recently, on April 21st, 2010, the Building Committee of Dessau City Council made a postponement for the tearing down of this particular hall until September, 2010.

Hey, this is Christian.

In last fall I have studied at the FAU in Fort Lauderdale architecture and was inspired by the offered courses very much.

The contact with the professors and students has very felt well.

After my stay in Fort Lauderdale I had visited Washington and New York.
So I can recommend to everybody this exchange programme.

Yours sincerely

Christian Pioch
