30 m³ of building culture – make something of it!

The Federal Foundation for Building Culture invites young designers to take part in a competition

Design needs space – sometimes 30 cubic meters is enough. For the 2026 Building Culture Convention, the Federal Foundation for Building Culture, together with its support association, is inviting young creatives to develop and implement visionary projects for a permit-free volume of 30 m³. The competition is aimed at students, trainees, pupils, and universities and schools of various disciplines.

What can be created with 30 m³? Recreation rooms, bicycle garages, mini studios, or new forms of public space? The best ideas will become reality: Ten selected teams will have the opportunity to present their projects at the Schirrhof in the Schiffbauergasse cultural quarter in Potsdam on June 10 and 11, 2026. They will have a maximum floor space of 2 m x 5 m and a volume of 30 m³ at their disposal.

The focus is on sustainable, functional, and aesthetically appealing projects that will continue to be used after the convention. The competition thus promotes not only creative design, but also awareness of resource conservation and process culture.

Project submissions must be made online. The deadline for project submissions is December 16, 2025. An interdisciplinary jury will select the ten projects to be realised in January 2026. Each of the ten winning teams will receive a lump sum of 2,500€ for implementation.

Here you will find all the information about the competition: https://www.bundesstiftung-baukultur.de/baukultur-bundesweit/wettbewerb-30-m3-baukultur-macht-was-draus

CORRECTION - Winter Semester Kick-Off - NEW DATE

We would like to make a correction to the previous announcement about the semester Kick-Off:

Winter Semester 2025-2026 Kick-Off will take place on Monday, October 6th. We will post further information about the places and times once we have the final information.

On that day, we'll have our traditional Winter Semester Meeting, where we'll welcome our new students and teachers, we'll have the introduction to the courses offered in the semester, and we'll explain the selection process for the different Studios, Electives and CADLogic courses.

The selection process will begin on that day, so we recommend that you thoroughly read the Compendium (it will be published in September) and attend the Kick-Off, so you can ask questions about the subjects directly to the teachers.

We wish you all a very relaxing and happy summer break, and we look forward to seeing you again in October.

Best,

Your DIA Team
