In architecture, the concept of seriality manifests itself in various ways, such as the repetitive structuring of facades, modular support systems, and more abstract concepts, like typology. In this impromptu presentation, we will focus on the exceptions, anomalies, special cases, and extreme points of serial systems
In this elective course, we will examine the concept of ecology from the perspective of architectural theory. Through historical case studies, we will explore how ecological knowledge has been applied in architecture.
Like environmental design, architecture depends on environmental knowledge, which ecology can provide. Ecology highlights dynamic relationships because the balances in the oikos are usually fluid. These balances arise from seasonal fluctuations and the complex relationships between living systems and their environments. Under the conditions of
The Department of Architectural Theory is preparing a thematic exhibition on seriality in planning and building, which will be shown next year at the Museum of Applied Arts in Frankfurt am Main. As part of these preparations, we are investigating case studies of serial building
Architectural works are considered complete as soon as final acceptance has taken place. But what happens before that? In this seminar, we examine the production processes. The focus of our investigation is the craftsmen and their contributions to planning and building, which are often overlooked.
Internships are essential to prepare for later employment. In the Master's degree programmes of the Faculty of Architecture, too, the compulsory six-month internship provides valuable insights into the variety of possible professional fields for which the study of architecture or urban planning prepares students. Under
We recognize a series when similar elements are in a recognizable context. A series is not an object, but rather a method, procedure, or system that creates or represents a connection between things. We also encounter the concept of seriality today. Seriality is intended to
