Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to grasp different spatial typologies and recognise, distinguish and classify specific morphological spatial details and use them in theoretical analyses and practical applications.

Subject of course

Spatial thinking and design are to be further developed through the comparison and analysis of complex spatial systems on the basis of relevant examples from the history of architecture and by learning evaluation methods.

The series of lectures and exercises begins with the topic of space, perception and sensation in an urban context. What are the causes of the effect? Starting with the outdoor space, possible comparisons to the interior are made. If we change the scale in our imagination, we can discover very similar phenomena. Subsequently, interspaces and threshold areas, spatial atmosphere and perception, spatial boundaries and openings, space and movement are examined. The aim is to systematise spatial features and to compile a repertoire of design elements of space.
