Die Studierenden erwerben individuelle, jedoch breit aufgefächerte Kenntnisse und Kompetenzen in verschiedenen Fachbereichen der Architektur. Sie entwickeln ein strategisches Verständnis für die Integration fachlichen Wissens in die Konzeption, Planung, Umsetzung und Vermittlung von Architektur.

PhotoBioReactor and BioSensing - Synthetic Landscape Lab

This course is primarily focused on prototyping based on step by step  

learning from developing an idea and concept through research to  
technical drawing, materiality and testing of a photobioreactor  
powered by microorganisms cyanobacteria commonly called algae.

We will introduce a topic of photosynthetic prototypes and start  
learning through research about Algae species and their different  
growth requirements. We will look at different type of cyanobacteria,  
mainly Chlorella Vulgaris and Spirulina but perhaps also more rare  
species such as Dunaliella. We will learn about their needs for  
survival and optimal growth and examine the intensive properties  
defining the growth rate of Algae culture such as Temperature, pH,  
Irradiance and Humidity via sensors and Arduino board measuring the  
real time changes.The main objective of the course is to set up a  
functional algae culture photobioreactor with oxygenation in the Lab.
We will set up a set of sensors for monitoring - into 3D printed  
custom made sensor holders. We will construct a functional mechanism  
and together develop a data monitoring system that will allow is to  
not only monitor but also to visualise the data, for example via  
Processing.

The main aim is setting up a functional prototype of a algae growing  
Photobioreactor, but there are other connected parts of design  
research including practical use of Arduino based sensors,  
lasercutting, 3d printing, data visualisation and other.
