Topics taken from culture, politics/society, economy and the sciences. Issues concerning sustainability and resource efficiency will be part of the academic discourse. Society, social responsibility and architecture, as well as culture, communication and the media are topics of significant relevance for prospective architects. Academic views on economic and regional development cycles constitute relevant topics for individual positioning.
History of architecture, cultural-scientific theory formation, historical contexts – renovation, modernisation, conservation and restoration
Ecosystems – the basic elements and influence on bioactivity
Material flow and production – problems and approaches to recycling
Development of materials and products within technical and natural cycles
Biosphere and urban space – from opposition to joined forces: Analysing and planning the elements and cohabitation
The objective is to recognise the complexity of architecture in its environment and to develop the problem-solving competences necessary for the planning of structures and their integration into an urban setting.
