1st Semester Architecture HS-Mainz
During February and March 2024, we had the privilege of coordinating, together with Prof. Dr Marta Pelegrín, the Project Exhibition for the first semester of the 2023 Architecture course at Hochschule Mainz (HS-Mainz), held at Holzstrasse 36 and the LUX Pavilion.
At MEDIOMUNDO arquitectos, we understand architecture as a process of constant research and experimentation. From the very beginning of academic training, we propose a methodology based on direct interaction with space and the optimised, rational, empathetic, and haptic use of materials. Throughout the semester, students developed a sequence of exercises exploring design actions such as folding, unfolding, subtracting, stacking, inverting, twinning, or rhythmising, applied to essential materials like stone, wood, metal, concrete, rammed earth, bamboo, cork, and recycled materials.
This exhibition is the result of a collective effort aimed at fostering creativity, sensitivity, and innovation in architectural design—values that are central to our identity as a practice. We believe in an approach to architectural education that integrates practice, critical reflection, and material experimentation, and we are pleased to share the outcomes of this process with the academic and professional community.
