Presentations of architecture or architectural designs can be done in very different ways. Basic techniques and skills to represent objects and projects are increasingly gaining importance in the professional practice of architects.
In this course, various approaches for the presentation of architectural objects and projects are offered.
An important part of scientific work is the publishing of its results. Multimedia techniques provide useful tools to present themes understandable. Within a movie it is possible to show much information in a short period of time. Very important is to develop a coherent form of expression to provide the researched topics to the general public, which is not familiar with this kind of information. It is very important to look intensive into the subject and to be aware of the possibilities to use moving pictures and animations to express and transport information. Efficiently used the instruments of language and images can provide a view into scientific work, which is not possible in just printed form.
The topics of this semester are:
Topic 1) World Heritage Sites in Austria
In 1972, UNESCO ratified the World Heritage Convention with 193 states to create an instrument for the protection of the cultural and natural heritage of the world.
Currently there are 9 sites in Austria that have been recognized as sites of outstanding universal value. Each state that hosts a World Heritage Site committed themselves to obtain this universal value through legal framework conditions.
In many cases, this means a challenge for architecture and planning, as it could be observed in the controversial discussion concerning the Hotel at Heumarkt in Vienna in recent years.
Within this course there is the possibility to with questions of architecture and / or planning in one of the World Heritage Sites in Austria using a film documentary.
Topic 2) Architecture of the 20th century in Lower Austria
Friedrich Achleitner has begun a comprehensive work with his volumes “Österreichische Architektur im 20. Jahrhundert“, which clearly summarizes the built fabric in Austria from the last century. Achleitner was able to compile volumes in his active time consisting 8 of the 9 federal states of Austria.
The data for Lower Austria has been collected, but so far not prepared accordingly. Within the frame of a joint project in cooperation with Mag. Dietmar Steiner, the Architekturzentrum Wien and the Stiftung Morgen, the archive will be analysed and prepared according Friedrich Achleitner’s ideas.
Accompanying the project, students can approach the topic with the medium of film. Possible topics range fro the documentation of described objects, the accompaniment of the project or a portrait of Friedrich Achleitner.

Within the framework of the LVA, an intensive FILMICAL discussion can be carried out on the basis of a freely chosen object or place.
The projects are divided into a theoretical and a practical part.
This LVA refers to the practical filming and editing of a short documentary film.
