After successful completion of the course, students are able to classify current tendencies, developments and consequently spatial transformations of educational landscapes (schools, librarys, universities, informal educational landscapes) as a place of work, learning and living as well as part of the urban infrastructure - in both formal and informal contexts - and to use them as a basis and preparatory research for further design tasks in the field of educational landscapes.

The course is held in the format of a lecture series.

Tendencies, current topics and projects of applied educational and spatial research will be presented and discussed. The main focus will be on the topic of "SPACE FOR  STUDYING in the 21st century": Current state and future developments.

The lecturers of the lecture series look at the spatial transformation of educational landscapes, understood as a formal as well as informal educational landscapes, from different perspectives: the focus is on social, cultural, architectural, technological aspects.

What accesses to knowledge are there?

What are the media of knowledge in the 21st century? How are they archived, exhibited and made available?

How will the workplace/learning place/teaching place be conceived in terms of content and how architecturally designed in the future?

What is the context with the surrounding public urban space?

The lecture series as a joint, integrating course of the special module "Bildungslandschaften in Bewegung" (core subject) takes place in blocks on several Wednesdays during the semester from 17:00 - 19:00.

Each Wednesday is dedicated to a specific topic, to which TU internal and external, as well as international experts are invited. The lectures are followed by a discussion.


Main topics (subject to change):

Technological and social transformations and their effects on educational landscapes (keyword "Editorial Society" by media researcher Bernhard Pörksen).

Future and future media of knowledge and access to it

Schools: Space fpr Studying and Living

Planning: Architecture | Urban Development | Spatial Planning - Best Practice Examples

etc.

The LVA is exam-immanent.

Attendance.

At the end of the semester a written documentation and critical, further reflection on a contribution of the LVA of your choice (in consultation with the lecturer) is to be handed in. 
This is expected to be dealt with in the form of an interview with one of the lecturers.
