The course is meant to be an interdisciplinary tool for documentation.
The lecture covers different fields and current positions and strategies of collecting data and information, data mining and interpretation, and further ways of displaying information.
Today the architectural field is getting more complex and dynamic. Screens, as well as a sheet of paper, on which architects and designers illustrate and develop their ideas, are still 2-dimensional.
How can additional information like sensual inputs, atmospheric data, spatial connections and time etc. be integrated in an information model?
Is a conventional section through a building part still appropriate due to the increasing complexity of the design process, the building process and the ways of fabrication? According to which strategies and methods of display can additional data be displayed in an architectural information and data mdell?
To be able to display information we work at an fictional interface between pictures, text and numbers. By that, we are able to illustrate and explain complex sets of data and statistic information. By which criteria can we define and argue these interfaces?
