Theorie der Architektur und Entwerfen

Design

Design solves socially relevant topics by using constructional instruments. Design especially provides the discussion about future development and formations of new typologies, which are caused by the changes in urban and rural environments. The basic approach is to understand the consisting system in order to develop new typologies. Therefor the principles of forming space, organisation and composition are important and need to be learned and used directly. The design work is based on interdisciplinary cooperation, in the faculty itself as well as outside of die faculty – for example together with social scientists, traffic planners and political scientists from partner institutes and practice. The demand is the formulation of independent architectural suggestions in the discussed context. The applied methods are workshop, analysis, graphical and medial presentation and especially model construction.
