Admission to AHO and successful completion of three years bachelor level studies (180 ECTS) and knowledge of Rhino
In order to find one’s way today as an architect student, it is important to find out what one intrinsically is interested in. From this point of view, we offer this semester students a chance to find out, what they are deeply interested in (spatially). We will deal with this search throughout the semester. We will deal on a weekly basis, step by step, throughout the semester.
In a first step, a spatial idea or constructive rule is sought and discussed.Students will travel to a place of their choice, visit a masterpiece and present a photograph with a spatial phenomena.
This spatial phenomena is translated into architectural elements (walls, ceilings and floors). Later, the program (a solemn act) is derived from it. It will be implemented.
In the second half of the semester, a detailed project will be prepared on a scale of 1:50 / 1:20.
The students will work with models, with photography, detailed CAD drawings, and self-written texts.
1. Ability to independently develop an architectural project on the basis of an individual idea and to argue convincingly on its behalf.
2. Knowledge of the constituent elements of an architectural work, including site, type, structure, enclosure and material.
3. Awareness of contemporary position in architecture.
4. Benefit from a international guest-teacher and from the confrontation with their architectural thinking, knowledge, experience and imagination.
