Learning outcomes
|
Studio teaching within the bachelor's degree program in Architecture and Urbanism is designed as a key tool for the development of the student's personalitythe future architectin the sense of an independent, creative, and responsible individual capable of perceiving architecture not only as a technical discipline but also as a means of cultural and social expression. The teaching provides space for the development of personal artistic and conceptual expression and supports students in finding their own creative language. The basis is guidance towards independent thinking, responsibility for one's own decisions, and the ability to defend one's designs on the basis of clearly formulated arguments. During the semester, students gradually go through the stages of analyzing the assignment, researching, searching for form, creating an architectural concept, and developing the design into a presentable project. Teaching is organized in the form of consultations, interdisciplinary discussions, and presentations, where students defend their solutions not only in front of the studio leader, but also in front of other students and external experts. Critical feedback is seen as a fundamental tool for learning - it motivates students to revise, formulate, and further develop their ideas. Studio leaders are both partners and opponents in this process, and students are encouraged to reflect on different opinions and arguments while maintaining their own vision and attitude. The content of studio assignments reflects the basic criteria of architectural design - from small objects to smaller-scale urban situations. The goal is not only to find a formal solution, but also to gain a deeper understanding of the connections between place, function, structure, and expression. Students learn to understand architecture in its contexts - spatial, cultural, environmental, and social - and to translate these relationships into design. Teaching emphasizes basic skills: reading space, working with composition, modeling, drawing, and above all, the ability to communicate a design clearly - both graphically and verbally. Students gradually acquire the ability to independently manage the design process, structure their work, and plan the individual steps leading to the final presentation. Studio teaching in the bachelor's program thus creates space for the basic cultivation of architectural thinking, the development of personal expression, and the formation of the student's professional identity. It represents an open, dynamic, and critical framework that prepares students for the more demanding tasks of master's studies and future professional practice.
Skills The student is able to: 1. Independently and in a team, develop a design in the field of architectural or urban design using artistic and spatial means appropriate to the assignment. 2. Apply artistic techniques (e.g., drawing, painting, plastic arts) in the analysis and design of architectural or public space. 3. Clearly present and professionally defend their design, including justification of the concept, the means used, and the connection to the assignment. 4. Critically reflect on their own work and the work of others and formulate constructive feedback within the framework of professional discussion.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Practical demonstration of acquired skills, Presentation of artistic and creative activities
A task analysis; research for relevant examples of inspirational models and comparable works by other authors; creating one's own design on a step-by-step basis with the guidance of a pedagogue and finalising the design on one's own. Ongoing consultations of the design with the pedagogues from related departments (the Department of Theory and History of Visual Arts and Architecture; the Department of Visual Arts; the Department of Civil Engineering; the Department of Load-bearing Structures). Defending the work procedure during ongoing criticisms and defending the final design in front of a commission of pedagogues during the final presentation.
