Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Varying themes, e.g. of contemporary knowledge base, new development directions, interdisciplinary collaboration and the research of the limits of architecture. More specific contents vary according to the theme. The professor may case-specifically give the course a unique name and, if desired, register studies completed abroad.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Depend on the study event.
Applies in this implementation:
The aim of the course is to familiarize oneself with raw EARTH as a building material. We will study the traditions, present applications and future possibilities of earth through some theory and a design+build exercise. Participants should prepare themselves for
- participating in contact sessions (theory+tutoring) on Mondays from 1pm to 5pm (remotely)
- reflecting on the things learned in the contact sessions through thinking, reading, writing etc. (independently)
- doing a design project independently for the first half of the course (tutoring available on Mondays) and building an installation together during the second half on campus
Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Depend on the study event.
Applies in this implementation:
Pass/fail
Workload
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Depends on the study event, but basically the ratios are: groupwork 1:2, excercises (design)
Applies in this implementation:
3cr, 3x27h=81h
1 study period = 7 weeks
7 contact sessions 4h/week = 28h
Reflection ratio 1:1 4h/week = 28h
Independent study approx. 4h/week = 25h
