CommentPresence on the first day (initial course event) to the integrated discipline construction is compulsory for participating in this course.


AbstractIn the context of the semester-long design projects, the reciprocity between design, construction and materiality is reinforced.
One focus is the coherence of design and construction.

In the process of developing a project's constructional aspects, design intentions become formulated in a more precise and binding way.
ObjectiveThe integration of knowledge gained in the basic courses lends the work an additional dimension and demands of the students an increasingly integrative ability to think and design.
ContentThis part of the curriculum addresses design work in different areas of architecture and integrates the knowledge acquired in previous years. It involves the active participation of specialists from related disciplines (e.g. building structures, landscape architecture, history of art and architecture, monuments conservation etc.).
