architecture city space (world heritage studies)

Exploring everyday-life and spatiality of urban housing heritage, the ACS seminar aims to generate a basic understanding of the complexity of architecture, city and space. A first insight into a wide range of different architectural and urban design topics is meant to enable students to an initial understanding and judgment of architectural practices and urban environments. The investigation of the multiple layers of architecture such as the spatial, the social, the cultural, the material and the temporal are crucial to the seminar. The seminar builds upon the application and the deepening of insight from continuous supervised research, literature reviews, in-class discussions, city-walks and on-site workshops.
