• Theoretic concepts in landscape, planning and design issues
• Case studies of key projects in each of three thematic fields
• Crossdisciplinary strategies for urban and landscape change
• Recent developments in urban planning and landscape policy and practice

Lectures, seminars.

The three course packages in urban design strategies, spatial and traffic planning as well as in landscape architecture integrate into a firm fundament which guides the design and planning proposals. Each course focuses on theoretical, interdisciplinary and practical issues. The theoretical part clarifies the specific historical meanings and discourses of urban space and landscape in each thematic field and gives an overview of the relevant theoretical discourses and practical achievements. The analyses of case studies allow for an empirical discussion of the impact of socioeconomic, politial, cultural and physical determinants on urban development strategies. The courses of the module 'Courses UrbanScape II' thereby create the interdisciplinary knowledge background of theoretical and practical aspects needed for the project studio and informs the students of the elective courses on the complex determination of urban and regional contexts of architecture.

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

• A broad knowledge of the tasks and current issues of urban and landscape realities.
• An understanding of the basic professional vocabulary and an awareness of evolving meanings of these terms over different historical periods.
• Confidence in analysing case studies of urban structures and the ability to infer principles and motivations.
• The Ability to connect the contents of the courses with the design and planning work.
• The ability to work with other students for assignments and seminars.
• The ability to communicate complex ideas and concepts comprehensibly in visual, oral and written forms.
• Present and evaluate arguments, information and ideas concerning the discipline of Urban Design.

• The various assessment methods are discussed in the descriptions of the single courses.

All courses in the module have to be passed with a sufficient grade (minimum grade of 4.0).
The module grade will be determined from the weighted average of the single course grades.

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.
• An insight into the structure and the workings of the outer organs of perception and perception in general.

Today's City is everywhere and at the same time nowhere. The old antipoles of city and countryside have been dissolved and are substituted by hybrid spatial and functional nets of urban, suburban and rural fragments. This spatial reality challenges architecture and calls for a new definition of its role and its methods.
The module Master-Thesis Design UrbanScape seeks to integrate architecture, landscape and contemporary concepts in urban and spatial research into a new design concept. It explores the phenomena and processes of actual settlement und landscape by enriching architectural modes of operation and perception with social and cultural aspects. The module Design UrbanScape relocates the role and the potentials of architecture in the contemporary spatial realities.

Das Modul "Business Statistics" vertieft verschiedene, im Bachelor-Studiengang vermittelte Konzepte zur Entscheidung unter Unsicherheit bei betrieblichen Problemen. Sie stellen Kernkompetenzen der Studierenden da, die zur Entscheidungsunterstützung im Business Process Engineering benötigt werden. Dabei werden die zentralen Modelle und Methoden der Statistik behandelt. Die Qualifikationsziele des Moduls und die von den Studierenden erworbenen Kompetenzen sind:

Die Studierenden kennen die Terminologie, die Argumentationsweisen und die Grenzen statistischer Methoden als ein zentrales Konzept zur Lösung wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Probleme, bei denen Unsicherheiten die Entscheidungen beeinflussen. Sie können die Aufgaben und die Ziele der verschiedenen Ansätze sowie ihre rechentechnische Umsetzung erläutern. Verschiedene Methoden grenzen sie konzeptionell voneinander ab und erläutern diese im Hinblick auf ihre spezifische Anwendbarkeit im wirtschaftlichen Umfeld. Um die praktische Umsetzung der vermittelten Methodenkenntnisse zu üben, werden Beispiele und Anwendungen aus der wirtschaftlichen Praxis mit Hilfe einer Statistik-Software bearbeitet. Die Studierenden interpretieren die dabei erhaltenen Outputs korrekt und kennen die Grenzen der daraus abgeleiteten Aussagen.
