Exchange Project Portulan

The department of architecture of the Technical College Zurich (HSZ-T) carried out a project of applied research and development in Havanna. This project was carried out in co-operation with the Instituto Superior Politécnico José A. Echeverria, La Habana (CUJAE) and was supported by the Swisscontact in 2006/07 (http://www.kfpe.ch/projects/suas/meyer.php - the corresponding publication is in preparation)

The institutional contact between CUJAE and HSZ-T will still continue in 2008. Danesa Urquiola Reyes and Angel Michel Domíngue, students of the department of architecture of CUJAE were invited to take part in an exchange term (3 months) by the HSZ-T in Zurich. They are supported by KFPE. They will visit a selection of regular courses of HSZ-T – design and construction, urban landscape, lay out – in addition to a period of practical instruction, which will be done at one of the architect’s offices in Zurich.

The aims of the project

Concerning institutional level: build up an exchange programme for the students and the lecturers of the involved colleges
Concerning the participants: build up competence in: specialized knowledge of architecture, the methodology of design, co-operation taking into account the cultural differences, independence
Prospective: the drafting of a new project for research as a sequence of the project Portulan ( see above)

The exchange project represents a big challenge for both involved partners. On one hand CUJAE had to solve mainly intern, administrative problems while preparing the project; on the other hand HSZ-T, which only offers the students the possibility of studying and getting the bachelor degree if they prove to have a job, had to find a practical solution that combined the study with an employment.
