In collaboration with the MSc Architecture, Science, and Building Sciences at TU Delft, RADIUS realised a tutorship in the course BUILDING GREEN: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE during the months of March and April of 2024. Assistant Curator Sergi Pera Rusca supervised and mentored four groups of students towards the realisation of their final project for the course. Their projects were inspired by the concurrent exhibition THE DESIRE FOR A (DONUT) ECONOMY, and had to respond the following prompts: How does architecture contribute to the propagation and assimilation of certain unsustainable economic mechanisms and values? How would a post growth architecture look like? How can it help to nurture possibilities of ecologically conscious economies?

The projects were to bridge the students' knowledge and experience in the field of architecture and urbanism and RADIUS' year-long research into the relations between ecology and economy, with special attention to degrowth. Furthermore, they were to be shaped as potential public programme events.

The final projects were the following:
