AbstractDo we live a house?
Or do we house a life?
How. Do. We. Live.
Do we know HOW we live? Do we know enough about
HOW we live? HOW do things around us shape the way we
live? HOW do we live the things around us? WHAT are the
conditions around us? WHAT makes our habits? HOW do
habits change conditions?
Learning objectiveWith sets of questions, we will question
HOW TO house a life ?
HOW TO
HOW TO cook ?
HOW TO bath ?
HOW TO rest ?
HOW TO move ?
HOW TO eat ?
HOW TO plant ?
HOW TO clean ?
Combined with
WHAT IS
WHAT IS wood ?
WHAT IS steel ?
WHAT IS stone ?
WHAT IS ceramic ?
WHAT IS glass ?
WHAT IS earth ?
WHAT IS concrete ?
Lined out with
WHERE IS
WHERE IS the window ?
WHERE IS the stool ?
WHERE IS the tree ?
WHERE IS the stove ?
WHERE IS the sink ?
WHERE IS the lamp ?
WHERE IS the door ?
And never without
WHAT ABOUT
WHAT ABOUT the norm and the normative ?
WHAT ABOUT the size and the scale ?
WHAT ABOUT the place and the space ?
WHAT ABOUT the individual and the common ?
WHAT ABOUT the culture and the society ?
WHAT ABOUT the weather and the atmosphere ?
WHAT ABOUT the speed and the urge ?
These sets of questions will guide us through the
semester and form SETTINGS, SCENOGRAPHIES and
SEQUENCES.
Is the way we cook defining the space or is our space
changing the way we cook? Is taking a bath a matter of
physical cleaning or might it also be a matter mental health?
Do we sleep to rest or is the bedroom also a place to read,
to play, to meet? Can space be more than circulation? What
do you store, where do you hide? What is an office at home?
What is work at all?
Content0 + 3 + 13
This studio will be organized in 0 + 3 + 13 movements.
Movement 0, 1, 2 and 3 will last 3 weeks. Movement 13
will last 1 week.
During Movement 0, students will question, travel,
draw, and collect from the activities of Universum Carousel
Journey.
Movements 1,2 and 3, students will work in groups of
3. These 3 students become a practice. The practice will be
assigned a set of 2x HOW TO and 1x WHILST ; that they
will freely combine with 1x WHAT IS, 1x WHERE IS and
1x WHAT ABOUT. They will work in the form of settings,
scenographies and sequences for 3 weeks.
In the next movement group members and assigned
sets of questions change again. Each movement will be
another group constellation of students. We study 3 times
a combination of questions. All together we will by that
collect an endless series of configurations of topics.
The Movement 13, will be an individual movement of
questioning, connecting M0, M1, M2 and M3 all together
into sets of questions that will be presented in the last week
as a ground for a collective discussion.

Vorlesung "Konstruktion III":
Die Vorlesung Konstruktion III ist ein obligatorischer Leistungselement und Bestandteil des Entwurfskurses mit dem Ziel ein umfassendes Verständnis für Architektur und Konstruktion zu erlangen. Die Semesterleistung wird als fortlaufende Leistungskontrolle in einem Skizzenbuch, das am Anfang der Vorlesungsserie ausgehändigt wird, festgehalten. Das Skizzenbuch ist ein eigenständiges Lernelement, mit welchem die Studierenden das Vorgetragene direkt in Form von Skizzen, Kommentaren, Ausarbeitungen und Spekulationen verarbeiten. Am Ende des Semesters findet eine Ausstellung aller Skizzenbücher statt. Die Bewertung wird dann von den jeweiligen Entwurfsstudios durchgeführt und geht mit 10% in die Gesamtnote des Entwurfskurses ein. Dabei werden folgende Kriterien in die Beurteilung einfliessen: Vollständigkeit und Pünktlichkeit der Abgabe, Verständnis und Wiedergabe der präsentieren Inhalte, Fähigkeit zur Interpretation und umfassenderen Aneignung der Konzepte, sowie die grafische Qualität der Darstellungen und Beschriebe.

Übung "Konstruktion BUK III":
Während des Semesters werden verschiedene Übungsaufgaben angeboten. Die Teilnahme an diesen freiwilligen Übungen wird empfohlen.
