Architecture educates - and education moves: Gaus Architekten at the BIT with the HoGy

Education plays a central role at Gaus Architekten - far beyond our social mission. It is an integral part of our corporate philosophy and runs like a common thread through all our projects and activities. Our educational partnership with the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium (HoGy) is particularly close to our hearts. For six years now, we have been working closely with the school to inspire and encourage young people to explore the wide range of opportunities in the field of architecture.

‍

A highlight of this dedicated exchange took place on this year's Education Information Day (BIT), where we welcomed pupils from HoGy to our offices. The day gave us the opportunity to give the young people a practical insight into the world of architecture and show them how varied the profession of architect is.

‍

After a brief introduction to our office and the projects we are currently working on, the young people were able to learn about various aspects of our day-to-day work. They learned what is behind construction management, how we work with CAD drawings and planning and what challenges project management entails. There were also exciting insights into interior design and competition management, two subject areas that were of particular interest to many of the students. But architectural communication, i.e. the way in which architecture is presented and explained to the outside world, was also on the agenda.

‍

We were particularly pleased with the students' great interest and thoughtful questions. It is always impressive to see how curious and committed young people are to the subject of architecture. Their interest encourages us in our efforts to open the doors to this creative and diverse professional field to young talents.

‍

We are proud to continue to act as an active educational partner of Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium and thus make a contribution to the professional orientation and promotion of the next generation. We would like to thank the IHK Stuttgart, Goeppingen office, as well as the Hohenstaufen High School for the trust they have placed in us and for their consistently committed cooperation. We are already looking forward to the next joint projects and to continuing to inspire young people for architecture in the future.
