New challenges in teaching and research are emerging. The institute’s chairs have therefore decided to expand and restructure their content focus. In line with these changes, the Institute for Building Technology (HBT) is to be renamed the Institute for Technology in Architecture (ITA). The ITA is planning to host various events at the start of the 2009 fall semester that will provide a glance at the institute’s teaching and research activities. Included will be an exhibition presenting the work of the ITA.
