Im Zentrum des Modules "Kommunikationswerkzeuge in der Architektur" liegt die Einführung in die Formen und Anwendungen von Kommunikation in der Architektur. Neben der Erstellung des eigenen Architekturportfolios werden auch Präsentationstechniken erarbeitet. Dabei werden sowohl analoge wie auch digitale Kommunikationsmethoden angewandt.

Die Kernaufgaben in einem Architekturbüro umfassen in der heutigen Zeit wesentlich mehr als nur die kreative Dienstleistung und das zeichnerische Erstellen von Plänen. Im Rahmen dieses Modules befassen sich Studierende mit den Aspekten des späteren Berufslebens in einem Architekturbüro. Exemplarisch werden Geschäftsmodelle beleuchtet und die damit verbundenen Zuständigkeiten abgesteckt. Ausgestattet mit verschiedenen Strategien und Werkzeugen wird es den Studierenden später möglich sein eine Position am Markt einzunehmen und diese entsprechend behaupten zu können.

The module provides a practice-based understanding of communication as well as insights into research strategies in architecture. By way of exploring architectural firms or institutions the participants develop and learn their communication and research skills through observing, reflecting and developing communication and research practices of architectural firms.

This module provides an overview and a comparative analysis of specific building cultures. It defines parameters forming a building culture, provides a historical overview and identifies definitions of building cultures and their role in contributing to the formation of identities. Building cultures are not only assessed according to their architectural output, but also analysed and understood within their social, economic and environmental context. Different Architecture languages must be experienced as part of a general cultural discourse. The course will encourage students to actively investigate the specificities of different cultures, positions and tools as necessary components for a conscious architectural attitude. Beside lectures and excursions the students will be actively participate to the shaping of the module through short presentations and essays.

• Architektonischer Entwurf mit konkreter Aufgabenstellung aus dem Themenfeld Upcycling im Kontext der relevanten für die Umsetzung der Aufgabe wichtigen Parameter.
• Integrierende Themen werden in der Entwurfsaufgabe bearbeitet und durch Fachdozierende aus dem Themengebiet direkt begleitet.
• Prozessorientierte Vorgehensweise in der Analyse der Aufgabe und der Entwicklung von zukunftsweisenden Konzepten.
• Basiswissen zu strukturellen, bautechnischen und sozio-kulturellen Herausforderungen in Umnutzung und Aufwertung.
• Grundlegendes Verständnis von ökonomischen und baurechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen.

Upcycling: Im Zentrum von Upcycling steht die Erfassung, Bewertung und qualitative Weiterentwicklung von Baubestand sowie die Aufwertung von bestehenden urbanen Strukturen. Die Geschichte des Bauens und Planens war immer auch eine Geschichte der Wieder- und Weiterverwendung. Materielle Hinterlassenschaften, meist im Zuge von Strukturwandel, finden sich überall im Siedlungsraum. Der Umgang mit Bestand ist nicht länger eine Frage von Idealismus, sondern von Ressourcen, Ökonomie sowie räumlicher und konstruktiver Qualitäten in der Architektur und Städtebau.

Blockunterricht mit Projektstudio
Mögliche Methoden:
angeleitetes Praktikum Experiment, Modell, Plan, Projektarbeit, Recherche, Reflexion, Skizze, Übung,
Visualisierung, Diskurs, Exzerpieren, Foto, Zeichnung.

Modulnote = Lehrveranstaltungsnote, die ermittelt wird aus:
Projektentwürfe, Präsentation mit Kritik, Mitarbeit im Unterricht; Integrationsarbeit; Portfolio; 75% Anwesenheitspflicht, prüfungsimmanent

This module is the perfect introduction to the world of media and communications as a radio and multimedia journalist. Students learn the basics for a radio show and for a podcast as part of the new Campus Radio targeting Liechtenstein and the whole world. During the Campus Talks (=Campus Gespräche) with high-profile guests, the students actively work in the editorial team. The ongoing web radio program is professionally planned, developed, and implemented. The content is unique and has always a strong connection to Liechtenstein, the University of Liechtenstein, and the university's partners. The program is presented live online and will be made available on different podcast platforms (e.g., Spotify).

An elective "Campus Radio" is offered in both the winter and summer semester. But these two electives have different emphases and can therefore both be attended.

Broadcasts, audios, podcasts, etc.

From research to implementation, journalistic radio and multimedia content is created.

Students learn to produce competently podcasts, interviews, and radio broadcasts.

Students can explain trends in audio production for radio and online channels.

For the students it becomes clear how important communication with their own voice in the context of social media channels is.

The students build up the new Campus Radio of the University of Liechtenstein and learn to plan and implement their own formats and broadcasts.
