Architecture's Afterlife

The Erasmus+ project, Architecture's Afterlife opens its invitation to the Second Multiplier Event ‘ARCHI-TECHNOLOGIES: From Architectural Creativity to Tech Design Thinking’ on Friday 21 May, 2021 (online) 14:00 – 16:00 CEST through Zoom

Architecture’s Afterlife’s principal aim is to identify the multi-sector impact of an architecture degree within the context of Europe and the extent to which skills taught to architecture students are needed in other sectors. For a complete explanation, please see the European Commission website here.

The event ARCHI-TECHNOLOGIES is dedicated to graduates who have studied architecture and find themselves working on technology and engaging in the interaction between the built world and digital space. Preliminary results of the Afterlife survey will be also shared.
