This day-seminar offers a space for reflection, realignment, and renewal. It is aimed at architects of all experience levels, who wish to question habitual patterns, reconnect with their purpose, and explore resilient ways of engaging with their professional environment.

The seminar opens with an introductory lecture on ›Resilience as a Mode of Thinking and Acting in Architecture‹, followed by a moderated discussion. Together, we reflect on the gap between personal ideals and daily practice, and explore what it means to act with integrity, purpose, and presence within current systemic constraints.

The afternoon is dedicated to a practical and interactive workshop on how to create resilience in your individual (working) life, with the mediation for concrete tools of reflection and the implementing of practices of resilience to your day to day life.

You are guided through tools and strategies for strengthening your inner resources, setting boundaries, and making grounded decisions—even when external conditions are challenging. The focus is on aligning one’s professional role with personal values, while cultivating sustainable energy for both work and life.

The seminar concludes with a joint reflection and sharing, where you are supported in developing individual approaches to resilience—tailored to your own individual needs, realities, and aspirations.

This is not a seminar about fixing yourself. It is an invitation to see clearly, act consciously, and shape your architectural practice in a way that supports your well-being, creativity, and long-term engagement.

We cannot solve systemic problems on a personal level! However, we can find strategies to cope with them and to commit to the transformation you long for and desire – for your individual life and your architecture practice.
