• Architektonischer Entwurf im städtischen oder ortsbaulichen Kontext: Mehrgeschossigkeit und komplexe Nutzungszusammenhänge in klar definniertem Rahmen, Vertiefung von konstruktiven und technischen Aspekten innerhalb des Projektes mit integrierten Experten aus dem Modulen Bautechnik (Statik, Bauphysik, Haustechnik) oder Theorie
• Einführung in den architektonischen Entwurfsprozess aus dem Innenraum heraus: Vertiefen architektonischer Grundprinzipien wie Raum, Licht, Material, Proportionen, Massstäblichkeit; Entwurf von einem Kleinprojekt mit einer Raumsequenz von wenigen Räumen.
• Parametrisierte Entwerfen mit dem Computer: Benutzen der CNC-Fräse als Werkzeug zur Herstellung von Verbindungen, Knoten und Strukturen.
• Auseinanderzusetzung mit aktuellen Fragen aus der Architekturpraxis und dem laufenden Architekturdiskurs in einem theoretischen Kontext in der Architektur Vorlesungsreihe.

Projektunterricht im Atelier mit Inputvorlesungen, Exkursionen, Gruppenarbeiten, Einzelgesprächen.

Aufbauend auf den Modulen Entwurf I, II und III werden die Grundlagen des architektonischen Entwerfens vertieft und die letzten beiden Semester im Bachelor-Studium vorbereitet. Einerseits steht das vertiefte Aneignen einer individuellen Entwurfsmethodik im architektonischen Entwerfen und Konstruieren mit dem erweiterten Einbezug von Grundlagen und Anforderungen aus anderen Disziplinen, insbesondere mit dem Einbezug von integriertem Fachwissen aus dem Modulen Bautechnik und Theorie im Vodergrund. Andererseits werden Teilgebiete des architektonischen Entwerfens wie etwa der innenräumliche architektonische Entwurf im Hinblick auf die Raumdramaturgie und Stimmung oder das Entwerfen von digitalen Produktionsprozessen im Hinblick auf die Realisierung einer konkreten Baustruktur kultiviert.

Die Studierenden

• verfügen über breite Kenntnisse der Architektur und des architektonischen Entwerfens und ein vertieftes Wissen einer spezifischen architektonischen Kultur.
• vermögen den architektonischen Entwurfsprozess aus dem Innenraum heraus zu steuern.
• verfügen über vertiefte Kenntnisse des computerbasierten architektonischen Entwerfens und können maschinellen Prozesse entwickeln.
• können Innenräume und insbesondere Lichtführung und Materialität in den verschiedensten Medien darstellen.
• sind befähigt, ihren Entwurfsprozess mit Computers der CNC-Fräse zu koppeln und Teile einer baulichen Struktur herzustellen.
• denken und argumentieren eigenständig auf verschiedenen konzeptionelle Ebenen und können eine kritische Diskussion der Architektur führen.
• sind befähigt, ihren Entwurfsprozess mit einer breiten Palette von Medien aufzubauen und kritisch in Bezug zur Aufgabenstellung darzulegen.
• beginnen Entwurfsprozesse selbständig zu strukturieren und zu reflektieren.
• können die gestellten Aufgaben selbständig innerhalb gesetzter Zeitvorgaben erarbeiten und eigenständig umsetzen.
• vermögen die Komplexität ihrer Projektarbeit am Computer, in Planform und Modell sowie in Sprache und Schrift überzeugend zu kommunizieren.
• können Ideen und Argumente im architektonischen Diskurs kritisch und analytisch formulieren und gezielt einsetzen.

Die Prüfung der Lernergebnisse erfolgt separat in den einzelnen Lehrveranstaltungen (Zwischen- und Schlusskritiken mit externen Kritikern).

Alle Lehrveranstaltungen des Moduls müssen mit einer genügenden Note bestanden werden
(Mindestnote 4.0).
Die Modulnote wird aus den gewichteten Teilnoten der einzelnen Lehrveranstaltungen errechnet:

Entwurf 4.0 mit Integraler Planung 100%
