Project Description
Im Zentrum steht eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung von Gebäuden, in der alle Bauteile ihre Funktionen erfüllen und im interdisziplinären Zusammenspiel den gewünschten architektonischen Ausdruck definieren und auszudrücken vermögen. Arbeitsabläufe, Arbeitsweisen, Techniken, disziplinare Vernetzungen, planerische Abhängigkeiten und rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen sollen vermittelt und Optimierungspotential diskutiert werden. In Gesprächen mit Fachdozierenden aus den Bereichen Baukonstruktion, Statik, Bauphysik, Haustechnik und Baukostenmanagement werden die eigenständig entwickelten Erklärungen zur Wirkung und Tauglichkeit der Konstruktionen dargestellt und diskutiert. Die Gewichtung der Betrachtung und Analyse liegt beim Bauen im Bestand und dessen nachhaltigem Erhalt sowie der Adaptierung nach geltenden Standards der Bau- und Gebäudetechnik.

Business Statistics

Business Statistics

Module Coordinator/Lecturers
Study Programmes
Master's degree programme in Information Systems
Project Description
Business Statistics covers statistical methods that are used to support decision-making in business contexts, so it also provides a methodological foundation for the students’ master’s thesis projects. The course builds on the basic concepts of statistical testing and estimation theory that are usually taught in bachelor’s programmes. The course covers five primary topics:

  • Graphic and numeric characterisations of random variables and their distributions
  • Framework and basic applications for testing hypotheses and estimating parameters
  • The ordinary least squares (OLS) method
  • Simple linear regression, including parameter estimation, diagnostic plots, hypothesis testing, predictions, and model specifications using log-transformations
Teaching Method
  • The module involves interactive lectures with exercises to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical design and analysis skills.
  • Students complete homework assignments after each lecture.
Learning Results
After successful completion of the course, students will

Professional competence
  • know the difference between descriptive statistics and statistical inference based on stochastic models
  • understand the framework of testing hypotheses and estimating parameters
  • know the assumptions made in basic testing and estimating procedures when drawing general conclusions
  • be able to explain the classic linear model assumptions

Master's degree programme in Architecture
Project Description
The Built Heritage seminar poses the question of architectural heritage, values and valences as well as long-lasting processes, typologies and buildings against a global horizon. In times of resource scarcity and climate change, the already built space is playing an increasingly central role in planning. This raises the significance of the history of architecture. Knowledge of the built heritage and its conditions is becoming more important for architects than ever. The networking of the world, its exchange and cultural transfer have inspired architecture for centuries. A focus purely on European architectural history no longer seems appropriate in view of our globalised economy and the often globally socialised and working young generation of architects, facing global problems. A special emphasis of the seminar will be on the many forms of worldwide architecture with a low carbon footprint, using natural and local materials while creating a strong identity. The aim of the seminar is to broaden the classical frame of reference both temporally and, above all, spatially and to analyse connections, longevity, and differences.
