The course accompanies Architectural Design 5 (the pre-diploma project). According to their individual interests, the students define a construction topic that supports and/or complements the design topic. The design is to be concretised, deepened and enriched through constructive considerations.

Appropriate working methods are to be chosen (study of technical publications, material tests, development and evaluation of different variants of the details, construction of prototypes/mock-ups, etc.). In any case, the work consists of an analysis of reference examples with regard to comparable requirements and constructive solutions, including a documentation of the results and the elaboration of a constructive and design solution.

Experimental approaches that build on a careful study of standard constructions and investigate new and unconventional detailing or construction methods are welcomed.

The development processes are assessed – both the documented development of the design and the learning process.

Depending on the number of students registered, the course may also take place in my office (OKPS 1st floor), as individual consultations and in the form of desk crits.
