Learning outcomes
|
During the fourteen-week block of instruction, students work together on assigned topics. A characteristic feature of the teaching model is daily work on assignments, which are given separately each week by different teachers from the Departments of Architecture, Urbanism, and Art. The leaders of the individual thematic weeks rotate regularly. The teaching is structured as a thematic progression that gradually develops the complexity of the assignments: from two-dimensional compositional exercises (e.g., using painting techniques and other means of expression) to three-dimensional, so-called "sculptural" assignments, then to architectural tasks, and finally to topics of an urban planning nature. Teaching is provided by lecturers from across the aforementioned departments. In addition to individual supervisors and their assistants, first-year students also have access to a First-Year Supervisor. This is a permanent position and, unlike supervisors, the supervisor participates in teaching throughout the entire fourteen weeks. The guarantor provides ongoing consultations and coordinates the thematic interconnection of teaching. Thanks to long-term contact with students, they are able to consult not only on individual assignments, but also on their overlaps and emphases, with an accent on a conceptual approach to design and technical requirements for outputs. The final evaluation takes place in the fourteenth week before a professional committee. As part of this, students choose one project they have created during the semester and prepare a presentation, which they then defend. The evaluation is the result of a collective discussion by the committee, with the guarantor playing a key role in the decision-making process, as their constant presence allows them to be familiar with the details of the students' work and their individual abilities. The format of the joint studio is based on teamwork and interdisciplinary dialogue. It allows students to develop conceptual thinking with an emphasis on interdisciplinary overlaps. Confrontation with the approaches of students from the art study program develops their ability for critical reflection, structured discussion skills, and cultivates their argumentation competencies, which form the basis for further studio teaching in vertical studios.
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. 5. Apply technical, spatial, and aesthetic requirements in the design and presentation of outputs in accordance with the teaching assignment. General competencies The student demonstrates: 1. The ability to work in a team in an interdisciplinary environment (architecture, fine arts), including communication and collaboration on a joint assignment. 2. The ability to plan their own work process and systematically develop a design within a long-term teaching structure. 3. The basics of conceptual thinking and the ability to think in contexts that go beyond specific artistic or architectural tasks. 4. Ability to use feedback and lead professional discussions with an emphasis on precision of argumentation and refinement of expression. 5. Ability to learn from reflection on one's own work and actively develop the professional and personal competencies necessary for further studio instruction.

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.
