"Architecture and Mathematics" introduces an architectural approach to dealing with theorems. Cities and buildings are miniatures of the world. Mathematical theorems contain virtual views of the whole world. They are less of a world model than a virtual world view, against the background of which a specific place can be qualified communicatively.

In 1931 Alfred Korzybski, introduced the notion “The map is not the territory” arguing that a map is a reduction of the actual thing, a process in which information is lost. According to Korzybski, an ideal map would contain the map of the map of the map of the map, etc., endlessly. In the relation between map and territory, we propose to add the notion of a model.

The course introduces the interplay between machine learning and the architectural design process. It is about how architects can navigate a probabilistic design space and what kind of questions to ask. It also shows how integrating learning from data to discover patterns and holistically manipulate the data entities with design.

This course aims to present the notion of abstraction as a central (operative) concept enabling our science, technology and lifestyle to transition to its 20th-century modalities.

Within a decade, digital technologies based on decentralization and cryptography have challenged their internet infrastructure by proposing a new Web3 model built on decentralized technologies like blockchain and the generative potentials of AI. The course will explore the practical potentials and challenges Web3 technologies offer for future creative practices.

The seminar will focus on the concept of artificial intelligence and its relevance to the field of architecture. It will explore what artificial intelligence is and how architects can engage in discussions around it. It will also address the challenges associated with incorporating artificial intelligence in architectural practice.

Introduction to programming with the intention to understand programming as formulation of an intention which eventually yield to architectural results.

In this course an introduction to programming is given with the intention to understand programming as formulation of an intention which eventually yields architectural results. In addition, fundamental techniques are explained and as well as elements of graphics programming introduced. On the other hand, methods are also taught, which permit ideas to be converted into viable programs.

Introduction to Machine Intelligence | This course aims to make you computationally literate in terms of machine intelligence. It is suitable for architects and those without the engineering background.

"Architektur und Philologie" beschäftigt sich mit der Rolle von Sprache in der heutigen Architektur. Diese leidet unter der zunehmenden Flut an Bildern, die weitgehend bedeutungslos werden (weil generisch und unspezifisch in dem, was sie darstellen). Dagegen entstehen, wie schon in der Renaissance, auf neuer technischer Basis viele interessante vernakuläre Umgangssprachen.
