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.

• 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.

Short description
In their Master’s thesis, students use scientific methods and work in accordance with standards of scientific writing. The Master’s thesis is typically related to the major (BPM or Data Science) chosen by the student.

• The thesis is supervised by a supervisor who should be members of the Institute of Information Systems.
• The Master’s thesis is defended in an oral exam, where students may be asked questions related to their studies that may go beyond the content of their Master’s thesis.
• The official editing time is defined on the thesis proposal and may not exceed 22 weeks. A shorter editing time is possible.

• Students will formulate appropriate research questions.
• Students will identify appropriate theories to explain empirical phenomena.
• Students will identify suitable research methods in order to seek answers to specific research questions.
• Students will use appropriate qualitative, quantitative, and design-oriented approaches to seek answers to their research question/questions. Mere conceptual works are also possible.

Submissions and deadlines

• A copy of signed thesis proposal (Exposé) must be submitted until July 1st (for the winter term) and February 1st (for the summer term).
• The master's thesis must be submitted until November 30th (for the winter term) and June 30th (for the summer term) to the the central service desk.
• The submission of master's thesis must include: Please have a look at the current "Guidelines for Writing Academic Papers in Economics".
• If any of the dates above falls on a weekend or public holiday, the deadline is automatically extended until the next working day. Please also check the opening times of the central service desk, especially during summer months.

Seminar

This seminar has the purpose to familiarise students with the different approaches to conduct research.
Students are required to review the existing literature, formulate a precise research question within the proposed field, select and apply the appropriate methodology and finally interpret their results. Purely descriptive results are not enough, but a structured interpretation and argumentation is expected.
The final paper has to reflect the structured approach of the research conducted.

• Students have at their command detailed knowledge of finance and have a critical understanding of the procedures and methods in the subject area
• Compiling and utilising available sources in order to acquire an overview of previously unfamiliar sub-areas
• Preparing research papers on assigned topics or shorter empirical or analytical research projects by applying exacting technical procedures and methods

.

• Research Exposé (30%)
• Final individual assignment (70%)

Die Veranstaltung macht die gesellschaftlichen, politischen und kulturellen Zusammenhänge von architektonischer Produktion zum Thema. Entlang zentraler Fragen und Themen der Soziologie werden theoretische Grundlagen geschaffen, die Analyse und kritische Reflexion architektonischen Schaffens und der Architektur selbst ermöglichen. Dabei werden wesentliche Fertigkeiten textbasierter Wissenschaften eingeübt: Genaues Lesen und Auseinandersetzen, Gedanken wiedergeben und formulieren.
Insbesondere stehen folgende Themen im Fokus:

• Anthropologisch-philosophische Überlegungen zum Bauen
• Raumverhalten
• Stadtsoziologie
• Berufsidentität von Architekten
• Architektur und Geschlecht
• Architektur und Macht
