RMB 5 - Typological Aspects

Recommended Prerequisites

N/A

Teaching Methods

Methodology: Problem-based learning

Scientific and artistic research leading to an extensive paper/design on the given topic and an informed design as follow up of the research.

Assessment of the paper/design:

- Research and design: integral, methodical, independent, underpinned research and design decisions, can argue and reflect critically.

- Environment and contextual awareness

- undertakes purposeful, design-related research

- uses existing knowledge and thus acquires new insights

- research is scientific

- Communicates orally, in writing and graphically, clearly, and concisely

Learning Outcomes

Learning research design- and planning strategies for implementing new uses and functions in existing building stock.

Learning to analyse, objectify and document different building types and the parameters influencing the possibilities for reuse such as context, history, construction, theory, building physics, and techniques.

Present and discuss the results in the plenum.

Independent study/ treatment of knowledge by the inclusion of blended mobility (virtual lectures, online self-tests, flipped classroom and reading courses with tutorials).

Work Placement(s)

No

Syllabus

Different building types will be presented in the lectures, and the problems and potentials for a successful functional conversion will be illustrated and put in perspective.
Research on design approaches for interventions in, and extension to existing buildings, categorised by building typology. Existing projects are analysed, categorised, assessed and presented.
In a series of design case studies exercises, functional conversion options for specific building types will be tested.
