Subject of course

Introduction: Wednesday October 12 at 6pm

Students learn about culture-related characteristics of vernacular architecture. They will delve into regionally typical layouts, materials and constructions.

In case of increasing Corona-cases, the course will be organised as Distance-Learning-course.

Teaching methods

A. THEORY
Theoretical teaching of the subject matter and object analysis are intertwined.
Aspects of vernacular architecture are taught by means of specific examples. 
Museum visits or the architectural documentation of selected objects depend on the respective COVID-19 situation.

B. PRACTICE
Selected objects or settlement structures are documented and analysed in terms of building typology and their cultural context.

There are 2 timetables, depending on COVID-19:
Szenario 1. COVID-19 allows in situ building documentation: visit to a selected vernacular object in Austria including building survey and documentation.
Szenario 2. COVID-19 does not allow in situ building documentation: archival and online research on certain objects, object groups and / or settlement structures.

Mode of examination
