Lecture, Winter 2019/20
In this lecture series with integrated exercises 1st year architecture and urbanism students get to know the basics in computational design methods.

User-Centered Architectural Design

Seminar, Winter 2019/20
In this seminar, students get to know different methods for anticipating the experience and behaviour of the future users of a building.

Parametric Building Information Modeling

Seminar, Winter 2019/20
In this seminar, students get to know the concept of building information modelling. A practical task will be the framework to learn to create a parametric building.

Parametric Urban Design & Analysis

Seminar, Winter 2019/20
This intensive series of lectures and exercises to cover the basics of algorithmic urban design and thinking, as well as parametric urban analysis using the software Rhino/Grasshopper.

Introduction to Masters' Thesis (IUDD)

Seminar, Summer 2019
In this Seminar we will prepare you for the writing of a Master Thesis. Therefore the basic elements of scientific working (logical thinking, argumentation, development of research questions and hypotheses as well as selection of methods) are introduced.

Circular Urbanism

IUDD Design Studio, Summer 2019
In this design studio we will develop strategies for small cities in rural Ethiopia. Therefore we will use the food, water and energy metabolism as a starting point the development in order to create lively and sustainable cities.

Parametric Urban Design & Analysis II

Seminar, Summer 2019
The course extends the knowledge and methods you learned in PUDA I. You will learn and train advanced parametric modeling techniques and further analysis methods as well as basic knowledge about statistics to study relationships between urban form and its manifold functions.

Computational Methods for User-Centered Architectural Design

Seminar, Summer 2019
The objective of this course is to learn knowledge and methods for better anticipating the perspective of the user of architectural spaces. Therefore you will on the one hand learn computational methods for quantifying daylight, visibility and accessibility. On the other hand you will learn a tool for conducting user studies in Virtual Reality.

Computational Urban Analysis

Seminar, Summer 2018
In this seminar you learn the basics for quantitative urban analysis, including density, visibility and accessibility.

Rural Urban Metabolism

Design Studio, Summer 2018
In this studio we aim at developing methods for anticipating urban metabolisms in the development of rural towns in Ethiopia.
