  abstract     = {{This study explores the feasibility and potential of integrating dish–Stirling systems (DSSs) into multigeneration energy systems, focusing on their ability to produce both thermal and electrical energy. By leveraging the concentrated solar power capabilities of DSSs, this research examines their performance relative to alternative solutions such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar heating. A 25 kW Stirling Energy Systems (SES) DSS served as the basis for the analysis. Simulations were performed for local 2022 weather conditions in Germany. The study employed a detailed modeling approach using the NREL System Advisor Model (SAM) to quantify the energy outputs and evaluate the system efficiencies. The results indicate that the DSS achieved an electrical efficiency of 25% and a combined efficiency of 78% when accounting for the maximum thermal energy generated. Seasonal analysis highlights the adaptability to fluctuating energy demands, with advantages in winter heating applications. Comparative evaluations revealed DSSs as a viable cogeneration alternative to standalone PV systems and solar heaters, offering reduced environmental impacts and enhanced energy efficiency. Future work will address real-world operational conditions, including thermal storage and multigeneration integration, positioning the DSS as a sustainable solution for renewable energy generation.}},

  abstract     = {{The article presents the potentials and capacities of extracurricular activities such as student workshops for strengthening existing curricula and introducing emerging specialised areas, topics, and challenges into architectural higher education. The specific objective of this study is to enhance and test different pedagogical models for learning on the sustainable rehabilitation of mass housing neighbourhoods (MHN), as a specific type of modern heritage, through innovative extracurricular teaching practices based on interdisciplinarity, flexibility, and adaptability. This research presents three student workshops focusing on the rehabilitation of mass housing neighbourhoods (MHN), involving students, academics, and professionals from the field, organised in Germany, Serbia, and North Macedonia in 2022. Moreover, it engages a comparative analysis of the learning formats and approaches developed within this discipline-specific cross-border collaboration. The study provides (1) an insight into the comparative analysis of learning capabilities and (2) the formulation of workshop models supported by diagramming of the workshop structure. The conclusion of the article summarises the findings and highlights the essential aspects for engaging student workshops, as an instrument for generating operational knowledge in the field of mass housing rehabilitation.}},
