Abstract
We will investigate the application of solar technologies. In the tension field between planetary influences, contemporary lifestyles, and building construction, we want to develop new constructive solar concepts and radically rethink the integration of this technology into architecture—creating a solar symbiotic being. Everything shares a common sun.
Objective
understand the presence of the sun and love its absence
Content
Phase 1 -Analysis of innovative applications of various solar technologies based on built and visionary case studies Phase 2 -Development of generic solar building elements in the context of the built environment, the building process and construction. Phase 3 -Integration of these building elements into specific existing buildings and structures The work is planned in groups. Over the course of the semester, students will be guided by experts, architects and artists through lectures, visits and critical discussions.
