After successful completion of the course, students are able to competently deal with questions of spatial design in the context of historical buildings, real-life caes and contemporary functional adaptation.
They will be able to design a spatial and functional program and evaluate the respective advantages and disadvantages.
In addition, they will be able to develop design variants in a comprehensible manner and apply the knowledge gained in subsequent projects.

The city center of Neulengbach is not only attractive, but also a great experience for pedestrians. Nevertheless, the vacancy rate is clearly visible. Therefore, the focus of the study will be on alternative usage scenarios, which are diverse. The design process will be carried out on the basis of two selected properties on the main square, whereby a tour is possible and planning documents will be made available. If necessary, partial demolition can also be considered. As part of the design exercise, the aim is therefore to combine utilization concepts with architectural measures that contribute to a meaningful development. The main objective is to develop an overall concept that can be implemented and a concrete usable design solution.

The rather unusual course of work starting with the aspects of design work initiates a multitude of questions and queries. Thus the first stage is dedicated to finding an individual approach to a key topic. Thereafter those aspects in terms of utilization and functions are dealt with in particular which result from the specific way of approaching the project. On a total the experience with spatial design is increased and the use and correlations of colour, light and materials is practiced.

What is required is the development of a concept for the design assignment. Subsequently, the implementation of the draft on a scale of 1:100 (plan presentation, model building) is to be provided. In addition, characteristic areas are to be represented on a scale of 1:20.
