The module Master-Thesis Design Theory seeks to establish the theoretical and professional frame to an integrated, intellectual and specific architectural debate and project making within the concentration Design Theory.
The topics center on issues to develop critical positions towards subjective reasoning in architecture and to further the ability to root these positions in the history and theory of architecture, as well as in the political, sociological, and cultural context of contemporary architecture and society. Theoretical planning and architectural articulation of space considering notions such as typology, morphology and style are fundamental topics in architectural education.
One or several excursions are complementary to the project studio work.

The aim of the module is to provide students with the necessary architectural tools and intellectual instruments and avareness to integrate the knowledge aquired in the entire MSc Degree-Program into a responsible and sustainable professional behaviour.
The Master-Thesis student is expected to submit a complete Thesis-Project that instigates the work of the students in the lower semesters and represents the architectural and intellectual culture of the concentration Design Theory.

At the end of the module each student should have the ability to demonstrate and/or work with:

• A researched understanding of design in order to take a position as a designer reflected in the ability to devise and implement strategies.
• A critical understanding of the intellectual and aesthetic content of self-selected buildings that supports architectural judgement.
• Researched and critical evaluation of the briefing and performance of buildings.
• The ability to define what type of research is relevant, what questions to ask, and which formats to record the findings to best serve as a springboard to design decisions.
• Execute complex defined and self-defined projects of research, development or investigation and identify and implement relevant outcomes.
• Ability to plan and compose buildings exhibiting complexity in terms of function, scale and context.
• knowledge on the humanistic currents through the reading of selected literature
• An understanding of the history of architecture reinterpreted considering political, sociological, and economical aspects.
