October 1, 2017, Prof. Fatina Kourdi has been appointed Eleonore Trefftz Visiting Professor.

From March to September 2017, Prof. Kourdi already was a DRESDEN Senior Fellow at the Faculty of Architecture at TU Dresden. Following on from her DRESDEN Fellowship, it has now been possible to keep her at TU Dresden for a further year as an Eleonore Trefftz visiting professor. Projects already begun at the Faculty of Architecture can thus be continued, and new projects initiated.

From winter semester 2017-18, Prof. Kourdi and Professor Manuel Bäumler (Chair of Urban Development) will together be offering a multi-part seminar on the topic “Rebuild Aleppo! Szenarien und Strategien für den Wiederaufbau in informellen Siedlungen“ (Scenarios and strategies for reconstruction in informal settlements).
