Learning Outcome:After successful completion of the module the students (manual skills and abilities):

• know how to analyse the the selected area by means of images, behaviour description, script, movie etc.
• are able to work with theoretical urban reflections: basics of analysing statements on the city (texts, conversations, interviews etc.), perceive and critically assess the content
• are able to characterize different forms of the city and can compare and critically look at these by interpreting the different analyses
• use their ability to judge as basis to develop own ideas
Contents:The seminar highlights recent topics in the field of experimental urban design. Spatial, sociocultural, ecological and economic conditions are taken into account. Based on concrete urban situations and best practice projects, students are sensitized to architectural and urban planning aspects (urban structures, relationships between buildings and urban spaces, address formation, etc.). Research, analysis and design methods as well as presentation techniques are taught in exercises that build on one another. Through varied formats and media (literature, drawings, models, photographs, videos, etc.) creative processes are initiated and conceptual approaches are encouraged.
