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.
In the lecture, architectural and spatial phenomena are presented and discussed from the perspective of the history of architecture and construction techniques as well as functional typology and the history of urban development in the light of selected topics. The aim is to provide students with basic knowledge so that they can later critically question and interpret such aspects in context and, not least, use them for their own design work.
Preliminary topics of the VO BG II in the summer semester 2022
All THEATER!
The Building History 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.
