WASTELANDS

The course investigates the diverse connotations and contradictory relations of wastelands to living spaces. In lecture, reading and seminar, and by means of individual narrations, we adopt all sorts of possible, and maybe impossible, vantage points of exploration demonstrated by actual situations the world currently produces.

Continuous assessment through frequent and active participation.

Presentation, investigation of a sub-topic.

Seminar-work: documented visual/textual elaboration with negotiable focus, related to individual interest and the subject of the course.

Priority is given to students of architecture who did not yet participate in the course and are in their higher semesters from the 2nd semester on. Ranking is made by semester level and time of registration. Others are very welcome as long as there are places.

Note: Presence at the first meeting is mandatory for participation.
