After successful completion of the course, students are able to be in a position not to be satisfied with the objectively constructed real environment and to question common urban, residential and architectural concepts and to re-understand architecture in its essence.
Bewegende Architektur, Dissertation Christoph Müller TU-Wien, BetreuerInnen: Manfred Berthold, Margit Gföhler, 2016
The Transformers film series is about vehicles that can do a metamorphosed. They disguise themselves as everyday objects and yet are living beings made of metal that act autonomously and serve noble goals. People's goals are constantly changing, the environment is in flux, can architecture then still be real estate? Can we not think of architecture as a transformer? How can we create constructions that can change? How can these transformers solve different construction tasks simultaneously or alternately? The design deals with the topic of changeable building structures, from the supporting structure to the facade to the furniture.
The design deals with the topic of changeable building structures from the load-bearing structure to the facade to the furniture. We want to approach this with digital tools up to movable prototypes that can be controlled by computer.
The projects will be discussed via beamer. The recent state of the projects will be uploaded to ftp-folders available to the other participants. Every student can learn from other projects and small groups of discussion and work can be build.
