Exhibition conception and planning is an interdisciplinary process at the interface of content, space and media. We deal with the fundamentals of exhibition design in a broad context and in different formats. The characteristic and common denominator of the analysis and conception is the fact that the individual measures are developed from the content. 2026W/2027S, Lecture with Practical Exercises, 2.0 ECTS

Every now and then, the author-editor pair is the stuff of legend: T.S. Eliot is said to have called Ezra Pound the “midwife” of his poetry; Max Frisch would likely never have existed as a writer without Peter Suhrkamp’s editorial guidance; and Gordon Lish edited Raymond Carver’s texts so radically that the author sometimes didn’t even recognize his own work.… 2027S, Lecture with Practical Exercises, 3.0 ECTS

Im weiten Feld des künstlerischen Nachdenkens über jeweils zeitgenössische Arbeitsformen und -verhältnisse werden wir uns auf Beispiele konzentrieren, die vielleicht überraschend Analogien zwischen Tätigkeiten vorstellen und derart gewitzt einen Reflexionsraum öffnen. Beginnend in der Vormoderne werden wir Fallstudien erarbeiten, die in den verschiedenen Etappen sich verändernde Produktionsweisen und -logiken – handwerklich, maschinell, administrativ oder informationstechnologisch – aufnehmen und in Relation… 2027S, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

In early modernity, war and violence were everywhere. Driven by power politics and colonial expansion, gunpowder warfare ravaged battlefields with unprecedented brutality. Within Europe's cities, religious reform and economic hardship ushered in a new sense of civil identity challenged by "modern" measures of discipline. Disavowed by the "fine" arts today, violence in the early modern period in fact closely aligned… 2027S, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

This series of lectures maps out European artistic cultures from the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries. Conventionally, this period of history is told through the lens of master artists and the ways their creations appealed to the tastes of elite audiences. In contrast, we will consider more broadly how early modern images and objects shaped the experiences of their owners, and… 2027S, Lecture, 2.0 ECTS

The lecture imparts expertise on the interplay of building parts in constructions, while taking into account selected building materials. The focus is concepts of “monomateriality” – i.e., one single material is used for creating the volume, the load-bearing structure and the skin of the building. Special attention is also given to the strains having an impact on the building and… 2026W, scientific seminar, 3.0 ECTS

This seminar investigates the building envelope as a dynamic system: skin, shell, membrane, screen and boundary. Students examine its thermal, structural and ecological functions, with particular attention to its dual role as an ornate boundary and interstitial environment. Relating to ongoing research at the department, the semester theme emphasises the dialectics of decay and decoration: material transformation over time through… 2027S, Academic Seminar, 3.0 ECTS

Building physics constitutes a fundamental prerequisite for sound architectural design. Whether it pertains to the development of zero-carbon or energy-positive buildings, the imperative to ensure a healthy and sustainable built environment, or the capacity to complement, reinforce, and intrinsically inform architectural concepts, building physics remains an indispensable component of a rigorous and responsible design practice.

CLO is a 3D costume design software that replicates the actual garment manufacturing process. In typical 3D modeling software like Maya or Max, costumes are created by shaping the surface of the 3D mesh.

This approach is highly efficient because it minimizes the 3D… 2027S, Lecture with Practical Exercises, 2.0 ECTS
