Content
What are the areas of interest for a new generation of architects? Which research questions are burning under your nails as architecture students and what are the new territories to explore? This course tests different ways to stake out your own subject areas, explore territories, formulate questions and carry out your own experiments in the field. Based on your interests and questions, we will undertake expeditions into the expanded field of architecture, meet with young architects, artists and researchers and talk about the structure of your research projects, get to know approaches, methods and cultures of creative research, but also explore fields in a very concrete and performative way , stake out and test. The issues you have brought up and questions to the architecture serve as starting and entry points and enable you to locate yourself in the extended field of architecture, to face your own tasks and to find your own way.
