Laboratories & Workshops of the CITY| BUILDING | CULTURE Department

The 3D Lab provides students with modern technical possibilities for building models in architecture and urban planning. Models, model parts and jigs for model building can be produced directly from digital data.

The analytical laboratory enables material and damage analyses using various methods. The focus is on the objects worked on in the Conservation and Restoration degree programme, including building materials. Interdisciplinary use and commissioned work are possible by arrangement.

In the computer labs of the CITY | BUILDING | CULTURE department, a total of 34 iMAC workstations with the latest software are available to students.

The rooms of the design studio are the haven of a liberation of the mind and the trial-oriented learning of techniques and materials. They are primarily intended for creative and practice-oriented seminars and are run jointly by the restoration and architecture departments.

The model making workshop is universally equipped and can thus meet a wide range of requirements. The workshop is assigned to the department CITY | BUILDING | CULTURE, but can also be used interdisciplinarily and is thus also open to design students, for example.

Since 2002, the Student Repro Centre has been the central point of contact for students of the Department of CITY | BUILDING | CULTURE for printed matter that exceeds DIN A3. However, we are also available to all other members of the university. For large format printing and brochure binding, you've come to the right place. The volunteer members of the plotter team will be happy to help you…

The workshop of the stone course of study is used in teaching and research in the bachelor's and master's degree programmes in conservation and restoration.

This workshop is used intensively in the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in Conservation and Restoration. The focus is on a special group of chemical elements: Metals.

In the workshop of the specialist subject of mural painting in the Conservation and Restauration degree programme at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, students can carry out detailed investigations on various objects. On the basis of their results, the students develop concepts for the subsequent implementation of their project and final theses.

In the workshops specialising in the conservation and restoration of wood, high-quality objects in this material group are researched and historical techniques are tested. In addition to the appropriate hand tools and machines, the workshop has various options for determining the type of wood and documentation.
