Architectural surfaces - a mirror of culture, body and space

Architectural surfaces - a mirror of culture, body and space

The course aims to develop a spatial imagination in groups where surface awareness plays a crucial role in space. We seek to explore the surfaces of everyday situations through multiple aspects in a spatial compositional context.

The workshop provides a general overview and introduction to the broad spectrum of creative education and possible professional fields in which students can engage in the future. Students will be taught the fundamentals of the interdisciplinary nature of the spatial work of architects and designers in current and future professional practice.


NOTE:
This course includes an attendance phase in Weimar from February 27 to March 08, 2025.

In the workshop, the relationship between the surface and the space of the body is analyzed and related to the structure, color and surface, light and shade of the built space. An attempt is made to "decipher" the different surfaces that exist within a building or a city. How can existing surfaces be used for new drafts and designs for us as future architects?
