Teaching Period (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
III-IV
Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Based on the individual selections within the study programme, which provides students with a knowledge and skills essential to their future careers, the attending students can significantly extend their theoretical knowledge by taking part in an advanced research-led, design-build project. In addition, the student will benefit from the design-by-research and the multi-disciplinary approach, the teamwork in terms of future communication, problem solving and project management skills.
Students learn to
- understand the research question including its geometrical, architectural and structural demands,
- propose appropriate, geometrical, architectural and structural concepts,
- apply appropriate skills in physical and digital modeling to the proposed concept,
- develop creative and appropriate solutions,
- design, develop and construct physical prototyps or full-scale demonstrators (under supervision)
- reflect, evaluate and scientifically describe and document the process and solutions
Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Highly research-led, design-build studio, developing a research question into physical prototyping or full-scale demonstrator, such as a research pavilion by means of physical and digital modeling.
The content can be defined by given research questions from the field of the professorship and/or related/dedicated to Bachelor-, Master- or PhD-Thesis.
Assessment Methods and Criteria (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
The assessment is based on A, the proactive participation in at least 85% of the courses (75%) including design/development process and outcome, and B, the final documentation (25%). A and B are compulsory parts of the final assessment.
Grading is based on the following scheme:
5: outstanding (exceeds expectations)
4: very good (fulfils all expectations)
3: good (only minor shortcomings)
2: satisfying (major shortcomings in some areas)
1: acceptable (major shortcomings in almost all areas but meets minimum level)
0: not acceptable (major shortcomings in almost all areas)
Workload (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Guided, in-class exercises and independent studies, hands-on modeling, prototyping and realizing up to full scale in varying distribution (dependent on project) of workload; usually group work;
