Design a concept for an app that shows and exposes a Bias. Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their conscious awareness. Since large language models (LLMs) are mainly fed with human data, they are also biased, with an increasing effect on society. - In the course, we design a simple App following… 2025W, Vorlesung und Übungen, 3.0 ECTS

intro This semester we will concentrate on the dimension of architecture that determines how spaces are sensed, valued, and given meaning: aesthetics. Beyond beauty, taste or styles, aesthetics is about how architecture participates in collective life, encoding ideologies and framing our sense of belonging. Following both enabling and extractive methodologies of the style catalogue (from the 19th-century pattern book to… 2025W/2026S, Künstl. Einzelunterricht, 15.0 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. The aim of the course… 2025W, scientific seminar, 3.0 ECTS

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 studio's design brief. The architectural design is enriched by technical considerations. Experimental approaches that start from a careful examination of standard building methods and explore unconventional constructions are welcome. Suitable working methods are to be… 2025W/2026S, scientific seminar, 3.0 ECTS
