After successful completion of the course, students are able to consciously perceive and analyze color as an integral component of building structures, especially learning environments.
Through inputs and their own artistic-scientific research, students have acquired knowledge about relevant parameters (e.g. color theories, color systems, color psychology, visual ergonomics, accessibility, etc.) and their influence on atmosphere as well as teaching and learning performance in educational spaces.
They have a comprehensive understanding of the issues that can arise in the color design of educational spaces and are able to apply and present these findings in design.
In the context of the course COLORS MATTER II. Space color in experiment, research questions on the effects of light and color on atmospheric room perception as well as teaching and learning performance in educational spaces are defined and experimentally tested by means of scientific-artistic research through room installations in the Grätzllabor in the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung.
In educational buildings, light and color have a major impact on motivation, learning and teaching success, and the well-being of students and teachers. Color and lighting concepts that are appropriate for the various uses and user groups are a fundamental component of successful learning atmospheres. Particularly in existing buildings, they also represent a cost-effective and at the same time highly effective opportunity for optimization in line with requirements.
The course is part of the FFG-funded project 'Bib-Lab / Innovation Lab for Educational Spaces in Motion' of the Arbeitsraum Bildung of the TU Wien (www.arbeitsraumbildung.at, www.bib-lab.at). In the course of the three-year research project, innovative design concepts for existing schools will be developed and exemplarily tested in the area of the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung, in addition to participation and networking processes.
