Schools play a vital role in every child’s development. Alongside the family environment, they are where children spend much of their formative years. School is not only a place for learning, but also a space for building friendships and developing social skills. Beyond preparing students academically for their future careers, schools help shape their personalities, foster essential life skills, and instill important social values.

Student health at TU Dresden has become a growing priority, particularly in light of the findings from a 2023 student survey conducted as part of the TUDo! project. Alarmingly, nearly half of the students reported experiencing high levels of stress in their studies. Additionally, the number of students facing barriers to academic success is on the rise. With the ARCH4HEALTH Student Research Lab in the upcoming winter semester 2024/25, we aim to contribute to the university’s ongoing efforts to become a truly "Healthy University."

Olympia Paris 2024 is just around the corner, and the sports fever has taken over the world with the qualification competitions. Since 1960, Para athletes have been competing in the same rhythm as the Olympians in their Games, marking a milestone: achieving equality between Paralympic and Olympic sports, as expressed by Friedhelm Julius Beucher, President of the German "Behindertensportverbands" (DBS).

Even though it may seem surprising, even children can be affected by a stroke. Worldwide estimates fluctuate between 1 and 8 new cases per 100,000 children per year. With this incidence, childhood stroke is considered a rare condition. Although it is assumed that children recover better from a stroke than adults, this is often not the case. Most of them have lifelong cognitive, physical and behavioral impairments.

Mental illnesses are a prevalent issue for many individuals – more than a quarter of the population in Germany will experience them at some point in their lives. The number of outpatient and inpatient treatments is also on the rise, with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbating this trend. While mental illnesses were heavily stigmatized in the past, there's now a growing openness surrounding matters of mental health.

During the Winter Semester 2022|23, within the ARCH4HEALTH Student Research Labs, the requirements for wayfinding and orientation systems were developed. Together with students and teachers from Hülße-Gymnasium in Dresden, the existing orientation challenges within the school building were analyzed.

Das Thema des Sommersemesters lautete Strahlentherapie. Mithilfe von Literaturrecherchen, Analysen von gebauten Beispielen und Erfahrungen von Nutzenden wurden unterschiedliche Themen im Zusammenhang mit der Strahlentherapie bearbeitet. Auf dieser Analysephase aufbauend galt es, anschließend eigene Konzepte zu entwickeln und architektonische Gestaltungsempfehlungen zu erarbeiten.

Hier geht es zu den Ergebnissen der studentischen Forschungsprojekte aus dem Wintersemester 2021/22 zum Thema "Architektonische Gestaltung von Notaufnahmen".
