After successful completion of the course, students are able to differentiate the idea of space in architecture with regard to art from the historical religious architecture to museum architecture. The common bases of art and architecture and specific differences are worked out and contrasted.

The analysis of curatorial knowledge, museum requirements and the practice of exhibition architecture shows the students the broad range of the designs of space for the collection and exhibition as well as for the archiving and conservation of art.

In this way, the students make experiences and as a result are able to develop independently concepts in the field of collection, exhibiting and archiving of art which is a basis for spatial designs.

The module mediates the knowledge about the idea of space in architecture from historical religious architecture to museum architecture. The idea of space is developed with regard to art. In the confrontation with art and its exhibition the students examine in the lectures artistic works, forms of curatorial practice, display theory and practice as well as collection rooms and museology  from the perspective of the architectural design of space. Exhibition design and display form an emphasis which finally results in the subject of design museum architecture.

The curatorial practice, museum preconditions and the realization of the exhibition architecture are mediated. Theoretical knowledge is exercised in practical exercises and brief designs.

Students learn on the basis of simple tasks practical knowledge on the architecture of collecting and exhibiting.
