Catalogue data
| Abstract | Construction is the prerequisite for making an architectural, spatial idea tangible in the first place. In this lecture series, it is understood as a component of a holistic, coherent architecture and is derived from its architectural, spatial context on the basis of a broad selection of buildings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The lecture series does not provide instructions or recipes on general constructive topics. The description of distinctive, spatial experiences and the constructive measures used to achieve them, is rather intended to sharpen the students' awareness, for their own design work and to show countless possibilities of how an architectural, spatial idea can be understood and further developed through its material, its construction method and its supporting structure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The buildings, which are described and explained in the lectures, differ fundamentally from each other in their time of origin, their urban context, as well as their geographical location and could hardly be more different in their scale and their use. These buildings are not a typical expression of their time and location, instead they are an expression of an individual creation and likewise use the constructive possibilities of their time and their environment in a distinctive way. Accordingly, each lecture is dedicated to a different architect. In addition, isolated current examples from professional practice will be shown. These lectures on new buildings, some of them unfinished, are given by an architect directly involved on site, in English, and partly online. 25.09.23 Zeichnungen 02.10.23 Conversation between Bruno Reichlin and Marko Pogacnik on construction terminology 09.10.23 Sigurd Lewerentz 16.10.23 Antoni Gaudi 30.10.23 Louis Kahn 06.11.23 John Lautner 20.11.23 Baustellenberichte von Florian Sauter und Charlotte von Moos | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | The script is a comprehensive collection of material that allows students to form their own ideas about the case studies shown, independent of the lecture. Most of the photographs were taken on study trips and show the buildings under discussion with unpublished material. The extensive collection of photographs is supplemented with drawings, plans, site photographs, and historical photographs from books and archives. The script will be made available in digital form at the end of the year to students enrolled in the lecture series. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Mobility students or students from other departments who only want to take the exam on the material from the last semester (Construction V or VI) are asked to contact the chair in advance.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
