Architectural Design V-IX: Hortus (GD Deuber.)

Abstract

The students have the opportunity to examine spaces that are shaped by architectural elements. We carry out this search throughout the semester and divide it into three phases: space, structure and whole. We will delve deeply into the architectural space and the materialized elements that define that space.

Objective

The students develop a design based on the architectural theme "Hortus" with the integrated disciplines of structural design. They deal with the topic, a specific material, its constructive logic and supporting structure. The aim is to arrive at a holistic design for all designs based on individual inspiration and the logic of the material and to visualize this at the end.

The students have the opportunity to examine spaces that are shaped by architectural elements. We carry out this search throughout the semester and divide it into three phases: space, structure and whole. We will delve deeply into the architectural space and the materialized elements that define that space. In a first step, elements that define the space are explored. Starting from an inspiration, rooms are designed that represent this inspiration. The rooms lead to a structure which, under the aspect of reuse, leads to its own detailed architectural project with an individual program. The students work with working models, different types of renderings (renderings of the rooms and the structure), as well as detailed black and white CAD drawings and texts. Assistants: Lorenz Bachmann, Elena Miegel Assistant assistant: Lieselotte Düsterhus Integrated discipline (3 ETCS points): Professorship for structural design, Prof. Schwartz, Dr. Lluis Enrique (requirement: design and supporting structure are mutually dependent) Landscape architecture / plant knowledge expert: Maja Tobler Expert 3D visualization: Stefan Meyer, Lukas Burkhard
