Purpose. To create
an international student assignment once a year for educators around

Network (TDN) and the results are presented annually on the web,
thus allowing students and educators to get in contact with one
another to compare their designs in the context of their unique
cultures and views. For additional information please visit: http://tdn.freie-hochschule-freiburg.de
