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.

• Thesis Book

The module has to be passed with a sufficient grade (minimum grade of 4.0).

• Project Studio Master-Thesis Design Theory 100%

• Practical training is an integral part of the curriculum and is supervised by the school's PSA. Students complete their practical training gradually, block by block, during time periods with no lectures.
• Students develop methods and approaches indicating how to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical context
• Students collaborate as members of project groups and work towards the solution of given problems

The Internship / practical training periods are to be carried out in architectural firms under supervision of professional staff of the office.

The module Internship / practical training seeks to allow students to gain deeper insights and practical training in relevant areas of professional practice. The module shall enable students to further their theoretical knowledge, corresponding to their educational level, with practical work in an architectural firm, covering various aspects and parts of projects. The complexity of the projects and the students' contributions shall correspond to the students' educational levels in the MSc Degree-Program.

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

• The fundamental knowledge of practical implementation of theoretical approaches in architecture
• An understanding of the complexity of translating design intentions into physical buildings or urban situations
• The ability to work as members of interdisciplinary teams in architectural firms and to work towards the solution of given problems under supervision
• The ability to communicate their work visually, orally and in written form

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.
