Curious about architecture? Do you want to create tomorrow's buildings and cities? Apply for architecture college? Learning from leading architects?
Here at StUF Architecture, you get a committed, playful, innovative and forward-looking insight into what architecture is and can be, in the middle of an exciting and creative urban environment. You get basic techniques in drawing, model building, carpentry and the architectural profession in general. You get to create a portfolio and practice your presentation. You will be guided by an experienced architect.
You will learn exciting theories, get plaster and clay on your hands and share your thoughts with others. You will get to meet and have workshops with several inspiring and renowned architects such as Todd Saunders and architectural firms such as Helen & Hard. Stavanger Urban Folkehøyskole is a school in the city and we have a rich architectural environment around us. Stavanger, as one of six cities in Europe, has been selected as a beacon for the "New European Bauhaus" (NEB).
StUF can offer an exciting collaboration with Neb-STAR around innovative urbanism and urban development. We also work closely with other cultural and artistic performers in our city. You get the opportunity to work interdisciplinary. When we are to build a livable future, we must have smart use of materials, more reuse, better distribution and understand the effects of our construction works on an ecosystem of which we are a part. The buildings of the future must become part of the solution to the green shift. At StUF, we are concerned with interaction and good solutions for the environment.

THE SOUL TRAVELS SLOWLY
They say the best kind of journey is the one where the travel itself becomes part of the destination.
Welcome to a journey you won’t find anywhere else but at StUF.
At our urban and green folk high school, this becomes an adventure on rails — a journey for the memory books.
StUF sets out to capture lasting impressions while leaving only light climate footprints.
Along the way, you’ll meet people and inspiring initiatives that exist beyond the usual tourist paths.
You’ll experience street festivals and creative green projects, eat well, and enjoy live concerts.
You might even join urban exploration (UrbEx) in abandoned areas and connect with fascinating communities.
During the trip, you’ll also take part in sustainable projects in exciting European cities.
When you travel, you open yourself to growth — shaped by new impulses, cities, and cultures.
When you travel slowly, you notice the changes and experience more deeply.
That’s when we have time to become true explorers — discovering new places, spaces, and parts of ourselves.
With StUF’s slow travel, adventurous destinations, and meaningful missions, you’ll be part of a unique journey of discovery and personal growth.
It’s a way of moving — and at the same time, being moved by what you encounter.
