USP-E0314 - Capstone Project, Lecture, 6.9.2022-13.12.2022

Individual work.

Required documents (to be agreed on and specified with each student on the first tutorials of the main task)

Architecture and landscape architecture degree students

Urban design or building design. The students must define themselves the borders and scale of the project with a teacher and depending on the idea. Drawings in the accuracy of the following scales. The scales can be feasibly changed if the scope of the design requires. The material must be condensed into a MS Powerpoint or Adobe Acrobat presentation with max. 30 slides. Please choose one:

Whole area: 

• attachment to environment 1:5000
• site plan 1:2000
• areal sections 1:500
• perspective views from pedestrian level
• aereal oblique perspective
• narrative text, max. 1000 words
• diagrams
• areal calculations

Sub-area: 

• attachment to environment 1:2000
• site plan 1:1000-1:500
• aereal sections 1:250
• perspective views from pedestrian level
• areal oblique perspective
• narrative text, max. 1000 words
• diagrams
• areal calculations

Building design: 

• site plan 1:500
• sections 1:250
• floor plans 1:250
• perspective views from pedestrian level indoors and outdoors
• aereal oblique perspective
• narrative text, max. 1000 words
• diagrams
• areal calculations
• facade section and caption 1:50

Other students

Students graduating to other degrees will conduct urban design research based on their own disciplinary competence. They must define their more specific task and outcomes by themselves with a teacher, but this must be related to one or several of the following urban design related approaches:

• the analysis of appropriate design methods for this assignment
• the role of physical design in the urban development processes for this site
• the analysis of feasible design concepts and implementations (reference and type solutions) appropriate for this project
• possible design approaches and concepts and corresponding to case-relevant societal and economic phenomena
• the role of creativity appropriate for this urban design assignment

End result: A report with min. 10 diagrams and other images made by oneself, 2000-5000 words & a Powerpoint presentation with max. 30 slides.
