  • analyse and critically evaluate architectural ideas and buildings in the context of tectonics.
  • develop research skills in the field of tectonics.
Professional Competence
  • know the historical background and the different definitions of the term tectonics.
  • recognise the synergy potential between theoretical background knowledge, constructive know-how and design creativity.
  • understand the relationship between the properties of a building material and the possibilities of joining.
  • analyse existing buildings according to the constructive-design aspects of tectonics.
  • develop their own constructive and creative realisations.
  • critically assess contemporary concepts of tectonic building.
  • understand tectonics as part of the construction process.
  • know how tectonics influences the details of the construction.
Personal Competence
  • situate their own work in a cultural and political context.
  • understand planning as part of a cultural-historical process that is reinterpreted and restructured as it evolves and as contingent upon advances in related disciplines.
Social Competence
  • communicate, discuss and critique their own work through oral presentation and/or written outputs.
Methodological Competence
  • analyse documents, understand the structure of written arguments and communicate their findings to their peers.
Professional Competence
  • comprehend the basics of conceptual thinking and the terminology required for a critical discussion of (urban) planning.
  • understand and evaluate concepts and arguments central to discourses in urban studies and geography.
  • understand sustainable architecture in a critical environment, and to translate theoretical concepts for urban and architectural design.
Personal Competence
  • recognise and verbalise connections and/or differences, tendencies, basic attitudes and criteria relevant to the built heritage.
  • situate their own work in a global, cultural and political context.
  • understand architecture as part of a cultural-historical process that can also be dependent on developments in related disciplines and the interpretation of which helps them to develop their own attitude.
Social Competence
  • research, deepen their knowledge and present individually as well as in groups.
  • justify, argue and defend their own point of view in the context of the group and the topic.
Methodological Competence
  • name and describe the most important architectural principles using prominent examples and place them in a global historical context.
  • write structured lecture notes and independently categorise the knowledge gained with the help of specialist literature.
  • deal with scientific and historical texts and carry out scientific analysis.
  • demonstrate a well-founded approach to the scientific field taught and thus have the competence to apply the acquired knowledge in exercises and in practice.
Professional Competence
  • develop an awareness of the contexts and conditions of built heritage.
  • analyse the global history of architecture.
  • understand the history of architecture as a system of subject-specific and interdisciplinary contexts.
  • know the terminology required for a critical discussion of architecture and to classify ideas and arguments in an international architectural discourse.
