Abstract

An elective master thesis in architectural theory is a written student assignment of an architectural problem or question, which is to be elaborated into a scientific paper in consultation with the advisors of the chair. The examination of a specific problem asks for a conscious and critical reflection of interdisciplinary approaches and methods.

Objective

Within the framework of an elective master thesis the student can enhance the acquired knowledge in architectural theory in written form. The master thesis serves the acquirement of scientific methods, the derivation, development and verbalization of conclusions and the contextualization within a theoretical setting. In a broader sense it serves the training of verbal skills, the development of a critical verbal, cognitive and imaginary access to problems in the realm of architecture and its neighboring disciplines in the humanities.
