Based on your research, we will discuss the environmental impact of your design from your earliest conceptual ideas. Together, we will develope your concepts to bring together design excellence and a sustainable construction strategies.
Any idea goes: from passive strategies of how to re-use any amount of energy, material or component in a building to energy producing algae farms you can live in. Interactive strategies are as much welcome as precise optimization of intelligently populated building envelopes.

To ensure a deep integration of energy related design moves into your architectural design, the energy design seminar is based on a design topic. This semester, we will "up-cycle" a high-rise in Vienna for the post-Corona area.

You can work in groups up to 3 students, so that you can share workload.

There are 4 obligatory meetings with Prof. Cody and in between Desk Crits with Bernhard Sommer, every Friday at 11:00.

By the end of the semester, you present a conceptual design that focuses on the energy and ecological questions. Besides a beamer presentation, a model will be required.
