dbXchange platform
DesignBuild takes students from their studio desks into the physical world of human interactions and construction.
On this platform you can exchange information about DesignBuild activities, promote your projects, organisations and your own expertise, initiate collaboration, look for support, find answers to questions about pedagogy, logistics, liabilities, funding and construction.
We welcome teachers in academic and non-academic education, students, researchers, planners, clients and users, politicians, entrepreneurs, donors, craftsmen and symathisers to get involved.

International DesignbuildXchange Award 2024 Winners
The International DesignBuildXchange Award 2024 received a diverse range of competition entries. The jury was particularly impressed by the variety of methodological, thematic and constructive approaches presented. These projects ranged from two-week summer school initiatives to long-term commitments, combining action and learning as iterative processes alongside in-depth research integration. They ranged from technical-experimental endeavours to community-oriented initiatives, encompassing both small-scale urban interventions and comprehensive building ensembles.
