Construction of an Earthen Sculpture for Sitting
The teaching objective is the joint structural realization of a scultural earthen resting area in the form of a participatory process. This course is coupled in the SS 2019 with the LV 251.831 Kleines Entwerfen "Design / Build: Lehm-Sitz-Skulptur im Neu Marx Garten". This is the design and implementation of a sculptural, three-dimensional sitting area for the hobby gardeners of the Urban Gardening project Neu Marx. The course architecture documentation and presentation / transdisciplinary interactions mainly involves the implementation of the project and can also be attended as a single course, regardless of the design
The LV Architecture Documentation and Presentation / Transdisciplinary Interactions are about the collaborative implementation of the selected design. The implementation takes place as a participatory process, which also includes the `gardeners', refugees from the nearby refugee accommodation, neighbors and all those interested. As a "soft skill", this course is therefore aimed at students of various disciplines who are interested in participatory processes and joint activities. Alongside the construction process, the following `soft skills' are used: scheduling, group-dynamic processes, solution-oriented discourse management and social skills.
