Project Description
MASTER (please switch the language to German to see the description for Bachelor students):

. Development of constructive design related to the theme Craft.
. The Integration of topics are dealt with in the design task by being directly accompanied by specialist lecturers from the subject field.
. Process]oriented approach in the analysis of the task and the development of innovative concepts.
. Examination of specific questions from the field.
. In-depth knowledge of the construction and building technology.
. The deepening of the learning content dealt with in the project studio will be developed through a link to regional and global practice.
. Based on case studies, the learning content should be reviewed, critically reflected, deepened and further developed.

Craft spans from material to design and to construction in scale 1 to 1.
Expertise in building technology as well as a holistic approach to architecture deepen the understanding of the art of joinery. Analogue tools meet digital productions. Traditional and innovative methods are being applied with an emphasis on material and construction. Cooperations with local experts foster the implementation of projects close to praxis, which provide added value for the society.

Project Description
MASTER (please switch the language to German to see the description for Bachelor students):

  • Architectural design with specific task related to the theme Upcycling in the context of the relevant parameters for the implementation of the task.
  • The Integration of topics are dealt with in the design task by being directly accompanied by specialist lecturers from the subject field.
  • Process-oriented approach in the analysis of the task and the development of innovative concepts.
  • Examination of current questions from the field.
  • Advanced knowledge of structural, technological and sociocultural challenges related to reuse and upcycling.
  • Advanced knowledge of building regulations and economic parameters.

The essence of Upcycling consists of the recording, evaluation and qualitative development and upgrading of existing architecture and urban structures.
The history of building has always been the history of recycling and renewal. In times of structural changes material legacies can be found everywhere within areas of settlement. The use, rediscovery and qualitative development of the existing is no longer a question of ideology, but of resources, economy, spatial and constructive qualities of architecture and urban planning.
