The Hochweit yearbook provides a statement about the current theory and research by the top-ranked Faculty of Architecture and Landscape at Leibniz University Hanover. This year’s edition addresses the phenomenon of TRANSPARENCY through essays, both from an artistic and scientific point of view. Many design and educational events, research activities, presentations, excursions, workshops, exhibitions and specialist discussions at the faculty in the past year are presented as examples.

Hochweit is a mouthpiece for the faculty with its nine institutes, reflecting the enriching power of interdisciplinary cooperation. With contributions by Margitta Buchert and Ute Maasberg.
