The “Quiané DesignBuild Mexico” project combined teaching with practice to produce an entire, functionally sound architectural construction. This documentation was created by students of the Munich University of Applied Sciences; it chronicles the processes involved in, the lessons learned, and results achieved by, the “Quiané DesignBuild Mexico” project. They are not stories involving star architects, but rather students, experts, users, builders, financers and local craftsmen, all working in concert with one another. Stories about forging networks, stories characterised by commitment and staying power. Projects of this kind enable the university to tackle real-life issues of an environmental or civil society nature by mobilising its competencies, resources and networks, and to this raise its profile. This in turn helps to trigger cultural change within academia, one that raises awareness for universities’ role in society and turns students into agents by allowing them to take charge of shaping an ecologically
sound, sustainable and socially just future.
