• 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.

Wir zeigen auf, wie Big Data auf der Basis von wissenschaftlichen Publikationen und Patenten geschickt algorithmisch genutzt werden kann, um emergente Technologien oder Innovations- und Technologiefelder zu identifizieren. Auf der anderen Seite nutzen wir analytische Instrumente, um Muster im Kaufverhalten von Kunden zu erkennen, um auf dieser Basis Mehrumsätze oder Produktanpassungen zu prognostizieren. Beide Vorgehensweisen werden durch eigene IT-Systeme unterstützt, die im Kurs anhand von Anwendungsfällen interaktiv eingesetzt werde

-Architectural design with specific task related to the theme Landscape 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.

• In-depth knowledge of interactions between people and their environment.
• In-depth knowledge of planning and urban design.

-Process-oriented approach in the analysis of the task and the development of innovative concepts.
-Examination of specific questions from the field.

Landscape means an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors. (European Convention (2000/2004): European Landscape Convention. Florence.)
Landscape is both, expression and imprint of culture.
Landscape is public good and resource, which we carefully use and design, in order to improve qualities of life.

Aus der Praxis hat sich gezeigt, dass Architektinnen und Architekten in ihrem Schaffen selten alleine agieren. Gestützt auf diese Tatsache orientieren sich die Inhalte des Modules an Aufgaben wie dem Agieren im Team aber auch am adäquaten Umgang mit den Behörden oder externen Büros. Die Studierenden erhalten ein Gefühl dafür was es bedeutet eine erste Vision mit Fachplanerinnen und Fachplanern abzustimmen und wann welche Expertise benötigt wird.

In Form von Vortrag, Projektarbeiten, Übungen,
Recherche, Visualisierung, Peerfeedback, Diagrammen,
Grafiken, Skizzen, Zeichnungen und Plänen.

To support the holistic educational aim of artistic and technically skilled graduates, this report unites technical disciplines embedded in the curriculum into a compulsory document/ report.
It is coordinated with the lecturers of the technical subjects that are supporting it by iterative consultations. Intensive research, experiments on material or processing level, simulations, cooperation with industries, innovative interpretation of taught content and tools, are just some examples how students prove their technical skills applied to the design process of their individual project.

. 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.
