Professional Competence
  • understand the connections between materials and ecology in theory and practice.
  • demonstrate sensitivity to material decisions depending on building biology and resource-saving arguments based on exercises.
  • display knowledge of materials and material groups as well as production and assembly techniques.
  • understand sustainability (resource requirements, life cycle considerations, design).
  • balance materials in the context of components and buildings in theory and practice.
  • decide on the use of materials in construction projects from different positions and interests (holistic thinking).
  • recognise the effects of specific usage requirements on materials (maintenance, adaptability, consumption) using practical examples.
  • interpret and estimate the future development of materials (forecast).
  • use general principles, sources and aids on ecology and materials science.
Personal Competence
  • set clear objectives and a timetable for their realisation.
  • realise the project with a high degree of creativity and diligence.
  • realise the project with discipline and reflect on their own actions.
Social Competence
  • cooperate within the class and/or with external partners and make compromises in finding solutions.
  • realise the project with a high degree of autonomy.
Methodological Competence
  • identify, analyse and discuss defects in broken objects and develop a coherent repair and renovation concept in consultation with experts.
  • realise the task efficiently and effectively within time and with the resources available.
  • give a high-quality presentation of the final result.
Professional Competence
  • summarise and explain the challenges and problems caused by obsolescence and waste.
  • describe strategies and methods of care, repair and upcycling.
  • apply theoretical and practical inputs to an individual case study using conservation and restoration methods, and ideas from the (online) restoration and repair community.
Personal Competence
  • assess their own work and place it into a cultural, constructive and theoretical context.
  • gain confidence in their own role and the persuasive and accountable manner in which it is expected to be performed.
Methodological Competence
  • learn how to find information and use references.
  • analyse and critically evaluate architectural ideas in relation to building typologies and forms as well as theoretical positions in the context of building culture.
  • develop writing and research skills as well as the capacity to use professional, academic and research resources.
Professional Competence
  • understand the relationship between the properties of a construction cultures and its material, form and types.
  • deal analytically with construction cultures and built environment.
  • understand construction cultures in a historical context and apply the added value to the present day.
  • show confidence in analysing case studies in their cultural, historical and theoretical context.
  • recognise the synergy potential between theoretical background knowledge, constructive know-how and design creativity.
  • communicate and articulate ideas and information fluently in English language and work comprehensively in visual, oral and written forms.
  • understand building culture as part of the construction process.
  • know how building culture influences the details of the construction.
Personal Competence
  • assess their own work and place it in a tectonic, constructive, and theoretical context.
  • gain confidence in their own role and the persuasive and accountable manner in which it is expected to be performed.
Social Competence
  • explain competently, discuss and critique their own work through oral presentation, writing or visual communication.
  • demonstrate the ability to work with other students for exercises, presentations etc.
