Ralf Petersen is appointed professor at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences
Prof. Ralf Petersen will take over the Department of Building Construction and Design – especially climate-friendly architecture in the Climate Engineering course in the summer semester of 2012
The Bachelor’s degree course in Climate Engineering is a new interface course at Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences. It innovatively combines skills from the fields of architecture and building physics, promotes interaction and leads to a Bachelor of Engineering degree. The content is geared towards the increasing energy and construction requirements in the field of architecture and urban planning. Sustainable architecture with integrative technical solutions and quantitative assessment methods is required.
Conceptually, the Bachelor’s degree course in Climate Engineering aims to grasp the relevant problems in their relevant complexity, to adequately consider a variety of perspectives and to develop practical and forward-looking solutions through a methodical approach. The focus is on architectural, structural, energetic and thermodynamic interrelationships and their application from a design and construction perspective. The following core competencies can be derived from the fields of activity described:
Building physics | architecture | urban planning | materials science | building history | thermodynamics | simulation tools | supply concepts | design methodology | building services engineering | project management
UNI.RSM Design – Lecture “Holism. Architecture, environment, energy – new mobility concepts on the water”
On December 11, Ralf Petersen will be a guest at the Aula Magna of the University of San Marino at the invitation of the Faculty of Design at UNI.RSM. The talk will focus on projects by PETERSENARCHITEKTEN and their history, but also on the presentation of a new project by PA: resource-saving mobility in shallow waters – in the lagoon of Venice and other similar locations.
L’Università degli Studi della Repubblica di San Marino (UNI.RSM) stands for a future-oriented education at the interface of art, design and innovation. The Faculty of Design at UNI.RSM offers a unique, interdisciplinary platform that combines creativity and technical expertise. Students have the opportunity to learn in an inspiring environment characterized not only by international professors, but also by the architecture and cultural heritage of the Republic of San Marino.

Deutschlandstipendium – HFT Stuttgart 2024/25
PETERSENARCHITEKTEN is once again sponsoring a Germany Scholarship at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences this year. We are delighted with our scholarship holder Jan Hartung from the Climate Engineering course and the 98 other students who have been selected for a scholarship.
The Deutschlandstipendium supports students with outstanding academic performance and social commitment. The scholarship enables these exceptional students to concentrate fully on their studies and their social contribution.
PETERSENARCHITEKETEN wishes Jan Hartung every success in his studies.

Our summer party 2024
In addition to working together on new ways of building and working out ingenious details, summer for us is always accompanied by long summer evenings that we enjoy spending together. One particular summer highlight was our summer party, which we all met up for in Berlin this year.
In the urban development qualification process for the former ironworks site, PETERSENARCHITEKTEN’s concept came out on top and was awarded first prize.
The aim of the competition was to develop a long-term strategy to create a modern quarter.

PETERSENARCHITEKTEN GOES VENICE
Every year, the entire PETERSENARCHITEKTEN team travels to get to know each other better, to have a good time together – but above all to share what unites us: our passion for great architecture!
This year we went to the Architecture Biennale in Venice under the motto “The Laboratory of the Future”. There we had the opportunity to marvel together, broaden our horizons and network with colleagues from all over the world.
The competition for the construction of apartment buildings on two building plots on the site of the former fire station 4, located west of Wellinghofer Str. in Dortmund-Hörde, has been decided. The jury, chaired by Juliane Kopperschmidt, architects and landscape architects from Dortmund, met on 25.10.2023 and awarded three prizes to twelve participating architectural firms.
PETERSENARCHITEKTEN, in collaboration with Hannes Hörr Landschaftsarchitektur from Stuttgart, Ingenieurbüro Bauwesen Horn from Leipzig and Janowski Ingenieure from Berlin won a successful 2nd prize.
The decision to deviate from some of the stipulations of the development plan resulted in a design with a balanced relationship between private and semi-public spaces, which creates favorable conditions for climate-friendly and resource-conscious construction.

OUR HOUSE PARTY 2023
We love summer and good food almost as much as we love developing new visions for cities and their residents! That’s why we invited to our big annual house party. Once again this year, the PETERSENARCHITEKTEN-team and our colleagues from the office communities and residents spread throughout the building came together to celebrate and exchange ideas – it was a party!
PETERSENARCHITEKTEN stand for buildings that grow with their use and can react flexibly to new requirements. This was also the case with the DECATHLON headquarters in Herne – completed more than 20 years ago, we sat down with DECATHLON Germany once again and took stock. In close consultation with the management and staff, we developed an overall concept for building optimization that not only includes a sustainable energy concept, but also expansions and adjustments to the available space.

Redesign of the Hotel Müggelseeperle: workshop with initial results
The traditional Hotel Müggelseeperle is about to undergo an exciting transformation. Under the motto “Fast. Noticeable change. Affordable.”, the ageing hotel is being given a fresh, modern face. On the weekend of 9 to 11 December, an intensive workshop was held at the hotel, organized in collaboration with the interior design firm BueroZ from Stuttgart.
During the three-day workshop, initial impressions were gathered, creative ideas were developed and the first models for the future redesign of the hotel were created. At the end, the results were presented to the owners and all those involved and were met with great enthusiasm.
The redesign is now gathering pace – we are looking forward to the next steps and the transformation of the Hotel Müggelseeperle into a modern retreat on Lake Müggelsee.
