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 reprocentre has been managed by students with the support of the Department of CITY | BUILDING | CULTURE. We want to offer all members of the university the opportunity to plot and bind brochures here on campus at low cost as part of their teaching.

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 mural painting workshop at the FH Potsdam, students can carry out detailed analyses of various objects. Based on their findings, the students develop concepts for the final realisation 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.
