After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• quickly capture and analyze a location based on inventory and (historical) sources
• recognize and name urban morphological aspects / elements of urban space and their changes over time
• capture current problem areas in the room and to develop room-specific solutions.

Practice shows that there are often fewer and fewer resources available for extensive stocktaking, research and problem analysis due to tight schedules and budgetary requirements. In particular, the basic knowledge, understanding and "feeling" of a place is an essential basis in planning processes. The ability to quickly "immerse", understand and acquire information about a place is therefore one of the most important qualities. Practice it often shows at community events that recessed knowledge and knowledge of previous developments in a planning room is a central point in the acceptance of a plan by the residents. However, the inventory of a place is always just the sum of development layers or the result of previous developments, as such, is only a snapshot. The analysis of this current state reveals subject-specific problems that need to be identified, analyzed and finally solved. By carrying out a "historical room observation" for a defined planning room, the students should use layers of different sources (e.g. historical map material, picture archives, ...) to expose and understand the previous development and morphology in the planning room through time up to the current state of the art. By doing this, the awareness of dynamic developments in space will rise and students will expand their knowledge. Based on this historical derivation of the current state, the problem areas are to be worked out and inspected in the respective urban area, and possible solutions are to be worked out on freely chosen subject areas. A creative implementation regarding problem solving and its preparation is desired.
