After successful completion of the course, students are able to analytically evaluate the constructive and functional qualities, but also the effect and perception of existing architectural and spatial solutions or approaches.
They learn basic knowledge about the functioning, complexity and consequences of building. They will then have the ability to interpret and use phenomena for their own design work from the perspective of the history of building and construction technology as well as from the perspective of functional typology and the history of urban development in the mirror of selected thematic focal points.
Topics Winter Semester 2022 | Preliminary Semester Schedule
Introduction
Topic 1: The Sacred Space: From the Ancient Temple to Current Tendencies in Christian Sacred Architecture
Theme 2: Intermediate spaces, threshold, and zoning
Theme 3: The limited space: monastery, jail, and fortress
Theme 4: Ruin and (artificial) ruin as a design phenomenon
The Baugeschichte I and II lectures deal with the existing building condition and thus move thematically within the field of architecture with the greatest potential in the current building scene. With this knowledge, the topics of the lecture Building History I and II are chosen in such a way that the students can also gain a practical benefit for their further education and for their later professional life: History of building and building techniques from the early advanced civilizations to the present day, typologies of building and function and their development, aspects of urban planning history in context, analytical and critical evaluation of existing/historical architecture, etc.

Um Hörerinnen und Hörern einen möglichst hürdelosen Abschluss der Lehrveranstaltung anzubieten, werden wir auch wieder in diesem Jahr einen zusätzlichen Sonderprüfungstermin für alle Studierenden mit einer gewissen Anwesenheit bei der Vorlesung abhalten. So kann beim Besuch von mindestens 9 von 11 Vorlesungsterminen ein Fixplatz beim Sonderprüfungstermin im Anschluss - am 14.Dezember 2022 im AudiMax - gesichert werden. Die Anmeldung erfolgt bei ausreichender Anwesenheit automatisch. Aus administrativen Gründen kann leider nur die Anwesenheit im Hörsaal anerkannt werden. Um jedoch trotzdem auf eventuelle Ausfälle zu reagieren, können mit 9 von 11 Vorlesungen zwei ganze Vorträge unentschudligt verpasst werden.
