In this course students will intensify their research within a module course of their choice. In consultation with the instructor, the student chooses the appropriate form for the creative output, whether a design, a journalistic essay or scholarly text.

Issues discussed in the classes of this module include journalism, exhibitions, manifestos, PR strategies, scholarly research, interpretive methods, and the social reception of architecture. CAGEY FABRICATIONS is  a creative component in which the students will have to produce an academic paper, a piece of journalistic writing, or an exhibition concept that extends the discussions in one of the lecture areas.  This is useful for anyone who wants to become an independent writer on architecture, a researcher, a journalist, a mediator, or a PR specialist in an office.

There will be 3 Groups Group1 (Lead by Michael  Zinganel)  and Group 2 (lead by Kuhlmann/Artner)

Group 1: Curating Architecture/ Michael Zinganel

In April 2017 there will be a large scale exhibition of students' works of all design studios of our faculty. This exhibition will to be curated, planned, developed, and produced by group 1.

Group 2/ Curating Architecture/ Dörte Kuhlmann/ Lea Artner

A collaboration with the Museum für Volkskunde Wien (museum of ethnology). By taking into account  the archive material, as well as plans for the future  development of this institution we will develop a new concept perhaps for future exhibitions or a pr-oriented online presentation of this museum.

Group 3/Curating Architecture/ Dörte Kuhlmann/ Lea Artner

A collaboration with the Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky Room Wien . By taking into account  the future  development of this institution we will develop a new concept perhaps for an upcoming exhibition or an online presentation of new research material.
