Teaching methods

Teaching Methods: Teaching consists of a number of seminars dealing with presentation of compositional patterns and concepts, using historically relevant examples. It should show the architectural space and creativity as an authentic reflection of time, mirroring the cultural, intellectual, social, economic and technical progress of the society which has created it and which was also influenced by it in return. In the second part of the teaching programme the students are developing their own architectonic design. The outcome of this effort should be presentation of an architectural study covering this concept and its creative design. The teaching subject for Autumn 2010 is „Architectural design study by individual task“.

Assessment methods

Presentation of students‘ own design in each study group.
