The students have a basic knowledge of the philosophical, creative, material and constructive aspects of spatial staging and object design.

Do norms and rules define spaces? What gives a project its special quality? Beside physical, functional and measurable aspects, what can make a space become a special space? The research of the semester explores metaphysical parameters of spaces able to increase their architectural value. „Shifting rules“, as a method of intense investigation of norms and rules is the central investigation for the actual semester work. Vasari defines this kind of operation "sprezzatura". 

Methodical analysis of spaces and spatial themes of so called "icons" of architecture, using drawings, charts, text and models; working in different scales, considering landscape, urban spaces, buildings, interior and object design. The result of semester work has to be processed and presented in form of models, not intended as a miniature, a small scale representation of the real object, but as an abstract representation of its "soul", as a guide how to look at that work.

Course examination according to § 7, statute section on "study-law regulations".
