3D Graphics Programming in Unity

Piotr Calvache-Modla

This English-language course introduces students to the world of 3D graphics programming through C# Unity scripting, including AI-assisted programming (so-called "vibe coding"). Unity is a popular cross-platform game engine and is often used by architects and designers to showcase their ideas. With Unity, it is possible to deploy complex 2D and 3D graphics applications across a variety of devices, including… 2026W, Lecture with Practical Exercises, 3.0 ECTS

Geometrisches Skizzieren 1

Markus Roskar

The course imparts essentials for pictorial representation of spacial structures. Its aim is to strenghten spacial sense, imagination and efficiency. The focus is on freehand sketching as medium on-hand. Topics are orthogonal and oblique parallel projections, draft views/multiview depictions and their interpretation, perspective, various approaches like additive and subtractive drawing, drawing with section lines, plane and space curves. 2026W, Practical Exercises, 3.0 ECTS

Geometrisches Skizzieren 2

Markus Roskar

The course deals with build and depiction of spacial structures and objects by freehand sketching. It builds upon the basics imparted in winter term and enhances complexity. Goal is to  strenghten  the spacial sense and foster sketching as visual manifestation of the thinking process. Topics are multiview depictions and interpretations, perspective, shadows, reflection, plain- and spacecurves  2027S, Practical Exercises, 3.0 ECTS

Räumlich-anschauliches Skizzieren ( :vom Verständnis zur Praxis)

Markus Roskar

The course builds on the heuristic nature of perception and drawing. It developes a repertoire of fundamental forms and operations to adjust and combine them. We'll focus on the creation of satisfying spatial depictions with limited knowledge within decent time. The goal is a summary, practice-oriented approach to sketching by founding intuition, reducing hazard and allowing educated guessing anyway. 2026W/2027S, Practical Exercises, 2.0 ECTS
