Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester

Learning Outcome:At the end of the module the student are able to put the neighbourhood in context of the whole city, to define the specific urban problem and the immanent strengths. They get to know strategies of urban renewal, stock-oriented strategies or development strategies. The students can implement practical exercise and theoretical findings into the design process.

The student are also able to:
  • develop a concept for urban space
  • derive requirements for urban and open space
  • define potentials to implement a project in different stages
  • develop a scheme of obligations and opportunities
  • be confident with the correlations of urban space and building typology
  • be confident with reasoning and presentation of a project
Contents:On the neighbourhood level the module deals with problems of urban renewal and building stock development or respectively the city extension and new development on conversion areas. In alignment with the city layout building typologies are developed. In a greater area the handling of the city as a complex formation is exercised and urban mechanisms of reacting to urban space interventions are recognised, evaluated and harnessed.

Based on the creative analysis of the location the students develop general conditions and an urban programme. The conceptual ideas are developed on basis of the identified strengths, tested in alternatives and weighed against the background of conditions for city production. The conflict-ridden and recursive involvement with the production of city images versus process-oriented regulation and choice of instruments is deliberate.

Depending on the question the gained structures of urban space are on the architectural scale also transferred to building typologies. Thus architecture is developed that is motivated by urban space and defines the character of urban space pre-settings in an aesthetically meaningful way.
