Architecture that challenges and expands the understanding of what architecture can be and what it can do, that is what visitors can expect when the architecture students exhibit their diploma projects in 2025. Visit the exhibition, which includes a wide variety of scales as well as expressions, materials and techniques.
This year's grand diploma exhibition at the Chalmers School of Architecture includes over a hundred projects at master's level and offers a variety of approaches and interpretations.
– The exhibition reflects a multifaceted view of architecture, where students move between the large scale of urban construction and the hyperlocal and everyday. Themes such as conflict, memory, more-than-human relationships and ruins are interwoven with technological innovations such as AI and experimental use of materials. The projects span sustainability issues, responsible use of materials and resource extraction, as well as celebrations of craftsmanship and cultural heritage. The result is a collection of nuanced and thoughtful proposals that challenge and expand our understanding of what architecture can be - and what it can do, says Jessica Lundin, curator of the diploma exhibition.
As last year, the discussions from the presentation sessions will have the opportunity to develop further; on the afternoon and evening of 5 June, the students will take over the Röhsska Museum to discuss their knowledge and their views on architecture, together with participants from the school of architecture and the industry.
