In this course, we explore construction as a practice building connection between parts - an assemblage of fragments and details, each containing its own micro-narrative. Construction as an act of transformation, putting things into relation. We will investigate construction details to reveal the positive impact that carefully arranged matter can have over its environment – from 1:1 to 1:10’000.

The lecture series explores the correlation among intentions of design, architectonic expression and construction premises. These critical areas or aspects of study, which are presented with selected projects, their respective theoretical backgrounds and historical development, are pluralistically associated and brought into relation with varying contemporary opinion.
