After successful completion of the course, students are able to...
– to carry out spatial and social research and analyses and to prepare them for an architectural design.
– to understand current pedagogical approaches and to create drafts for them.
– to develop a spatial programme for the task of schoolhouse construction.
– to organise communication processes with users, to communicate and then to incorporate the results into the design.
– to develop a concept for the task, taking account of the prescribed and self-identified aspects.
– to present the design graphically.
The design programme provides for a spatial restructuring (conversion) of the Vienna Business School in the heart of the city.
In preparation for a real intervention a communicative process between the users (pupils, teachers, parents, community) will be started. The results of the design programme also contribute to the discussion, spatial understanding and acceptance of the construction task and the associated requirements.
The school building needs to be re-examined, spatial potentials identified and taken into account in the restructuring.
At the same time, there will be an opportunity to reflect on the functions and uses of the school buildings and their relationship to the nearby activities (f.ex. schools and university buildings around).
