Starting Points for the HCU
» Sustainable solutions address spatial, ecological, social, cultural and economic challenges
» Academic Content» Disciplinarity: excellence in a subject» Interprofessionalism: understanding of and respect for related
disciplines--how they think, what they value, as a precondition for creative cooperation
» Transdisciplinarity: openness towards radically different ways of thinking, seeing and responding
» Focus on metropolises» Issues facing the built environment are public ones
» The HCU has the responsibility to inform and challenge public and professional opinion
» The new building must support these values architecturally
