Studying Architecture and Being Creative in Graz

Creative work in the architecture studios at TU Graz © Lunghammer - TU Graz - You may have seen Graz being described as a city of design. What makes Graz so special for someone like me who studies architecture here? Let me explain exactly what this city offers to creative people. How did Graz become a city of design? Let's take a look at some facts about Graz first. Graz is the second-largest city in Austria and the state capital of Styria. It is known as a student city and has four universities, two teacher training universities, two universities of applied sciences and some 60,000 Students from all over the world. For more insights into the city of Graz, read the posts of my TU Graz International Student Ambassador colleagues Sara Krak "Graz city life" and Gergö Horváth "Graz, a student's city with a cozy and friendly vibe" . In 1999 the historic center of the city was added to UNESCO - in 2010 this was expanded to include the western part of the city.
