The supervision consists of directing the students towards clear results within a given field of research. The individual study is reviewed within the respective unit.

Craft & Structure Unit:
The university campus has blind spots that require special attention. The former cotton mill is today the largest public building in Liechtenstein and should be made more accessible to the public. A public walkway is to lead through the main building, leading visitors through the conglomerate of the various rooms and uses. The end points of this 'inner path' must be upgraded and redefined as attractive places with charisma. The completely underutilised outdoor space below the cafeteria should serve as the prelude and showcase for the campus with a spacious platform where people can meet, eat, study or relax. On the upper level, the Red Cube will be replaced by new pavilions that will serve as a bar for events and performances. In this way, we will balance the relationships between the individual buildings in the ensemble and set new priorities with the interventions on the campus. The focus on the specific parts and their qualities will be supplemented by a view of the surroundings, the ensemble. We work with a model of the surroundings in which we deal precisely with the built environment.
In the sense of re-use, the two sites can benefit from the building material of the Base Camp, which will be dismantled into its individual parts and made available as material storage.

Self-defined design or research studies, developed individually or in groups agreed upon with research units and under the guidance of mentors. The size of the module is determined by the respective unit.

After successful completion of the course, students will be able to

Minimum 75% compulsory attendance, regular meetings with instructors, continuous assessment, portfolio and final review.
The final grade is calculated according to the weighting of the following components: final submission (80%) and oral presentation (20%).

Individual appointments will be set with the tutor.

Analyse und Entwicklung digitaler Erzählmöglichkeiten, etwa Reels, Social Clips, Grafiktafeln, Instastorys, TikToks oder Threads; Zuspitzung und Verknappung komplizierter Zusammenhänge; besonderer Fokus auf Wissenschafts- und Technikjournalismus, aber auch Wissenschaftskommunikation. Theoretische Einordnungen und praktische Tipps und Hinweise - über die Grenzen einzelner Wissenschaftsbereiche hinweg. Zudem Einordnung ins zeitgenössische Erzählen via Social Media.

Hybrid

Learning Outcome (1) Entwicklung verschiedener Erzählformen, v.a. aus dem Bereich Social Media (etwa Quarks digital, Terra X, Galileo), z.B. Instastorys, Reels (Insta und TikTok) oder Threads. Einüben crossmedialer Erzählweisen: ein Thema wird über verschiedene digitale Kanäle erzählt.

The pursuit of happiness and the question of how it can be achieved and maintained received early attention in philosophy (hedonism, eudaimonia). The scientific approach of positive psychology examines factors of a fulfilling and successful life. Launched as a rebellious discipline just over two decades ago, positive psychology challenged the emphasis of applied psychology on disease and dysfunction and offers a new, more balanced perspective on human life.
It explores how people can utilise their resources, develop their strengths and advance themselves, their environment and society as a whole. This seminar deals with relevant concepts and interventions that are important in everyday, academic and professional life, or that can be helpfully applied there.

Interactive seminar with keynote speeches, readings, discussions, exercises/interventions

The students

• name and describe selected concepts of positive psychology such as motivation, flow, mindfulness, courage…
• critically scrutinise the approach.
• apply positive psychological interventions (PPIs) and
• relate them to their personal everyday life.
• utilise interdisciplinary exchange and
• learn to use the knowledge and personal experiences of the participants as a resource.
• develop a more dynamic mindset through a basic understanding of selected concepts of positive psychology.
• reflect on their personal attitude in different situations and develop them further.

Built Heritage & Upcycling Unit:
Whenever there was a shortage of building materials in history, creativity was called for and a circular approach was often the answer. In the 16th century, the Frenchman Philibert de l'Orme invented a new construction method, known as "à petit bois", in which large roof surfaces were built from small pieces of wood. Instead of comprehensive designs, his architectural work was characterized by adapting, integrating and building on. We examine de l'Orme's circular approaches using the example of the roof truss of the Caserne Rochambeau in Mont-Dauphin (F). Could this method be one of the earliest concepts for planned circular building solutions?

The Master's Thesis is carried out by the student as part of an Advanced Studio and is supervised by the unit. The thesis contains a developed hypothesis that is verified (or falsified) as part of the design project. In addition to the actual design project, the Master's thesis includes the design and production of the thesis book. This consists of
three parts: the documentation of the design project, a theoretical report and a technical report. The formal aspects of the thesis and the thesis book are described in the Master's thesis regulations.

Mentored project work in the design studio.

After successful completion of the course, students will be able to

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.
