After successful completion of the course, students are able to Nach positiver Absolvierung der Lehrveranstaltung sind Studierende in der Lage, ein stadträumliches- und gesellschaftlich relevantes Thema zu behandeln und dieses in einen architektonischen Entwurf zu übersetzen und zu präsentieren. Die Studierenden werden sich mit Konstruktions-, Material- und Detailfragen auseinandersetzen und ihren Entwurf kritisch im Hinblick auf ressourcenschonendes Bauen und minimalen Flächenverbrauch analysieren.

REPAIR+SHARE X-CHANGE POINT
Modular repair and exchange point for everyday and residential objects.

Design of a publicly accessible, walkable weather shelter placed in the urban space with a modular spatial structure to exchange, share and repair objects.
The goal is to activate idle resources of all kinds: from urban residual space to residential and everyday objects that become functional again through minor repairs to the repurposing or upcycling of their still usable components.

Main topics:
How can architecture be used to draw attention to the resource-conserving use of materials and objects in public spaces?
What unused or fallow resources are there?
How can modular load-bearing structures that provide sufficient weather protection for the intended use be constructed with minimal and sustainable use of materials?

The goal is to create a feasible design that will be presented via poster and model.
The work can be done in groups of two.

Independent processing of a task with sketches, physical or digital working models and project studies.
Working Models 1:5 bzw.1:20.
Elaboration of plans in all scales relevant for building construction as well as a spatial model.

Conceptual + structural idea, complete representation of the project through sketches and plans (scale of elaboration in consultation with the supervisor), working and presentation models.
