doku:lab - Documentation and Media Workshop
The doku:lab is the documentation center of the Faculty of Architecture - Urban Planning - Landscape Planning at the University of Kassel, which offers the classic remit of a so-called grey room (archive of student work) for the faculty and much more, such as grey literature from institutions, authorities, the Lucius Burckhardt Archive and the Migge Collection. The doku:lab is known to many under its former name Infosystem Planung (ISP) / Grauer Raum. Our team is looking forward to your visit!

This large pool of student work reflects the teaching and research of our faculty. It enables us to build our own academic work on the knowledge acquired and previous achievements of other students. This knowledge from the past decades is preserved and will not be lost to the next generation. This principle corresponds to today's open access.
- We will receive two copies of your work. One copy is provided color-printed and one copy is provided digitally on CD.
Please hand in your student work (project work, student research project, Bachelor thesis, Master thesis, etc.) with the admission form to the Office for Student Affairs and Examinations. The work will remain there for the time being. - We collect all student work that has been assessed with a grade of 1.7 or better. The Office for Student Affairs ans Examinations will inform us of the grade. If your work has been assessed with a grade of 1.7 or better, we will archive it for our records. If your grade is 2.0 or higher, the work will be ready for you to collect.
We only accept stapled or bound works. For stability on the shelf, they should be covered with thick cardboard (cover or spine). Works consisting of individual plans should be folded and packed in lockable, stable folders (A4).

There are media available with which Lucius Burckhardt taught and researched directly. A media collection with the help of which Lucius Burckhardt's academic work can be reconstructed. Documents on teaching preparation, correspondence, films and slides are a particular treasure. The collection can be viewed during our opening hours.
