The students can independently formulate and implement architectural concepts. They can convincingly communicate their designs, present them in detail and position them within their respective theoretical or creative context.

"Silent Structures" explores the transformation of “Abandoned spaces” that have been left unused, often due to changing social, economic, or technological conditions. These spaces, such as warehouses, historical ruins, and other forgotten places, are often seen as relics of the past. Through abandonment or disuse, they have “lost” their original “identities”, purposes, meanings, and cultural significance.

The aim of the "Reviving" process is to breathe new life into these structures, turning them into vibrant, repurposed environments. This approach emphasises contextual design, where a deep understanding of the historical, cultural, and social context informs the new purpose of the space. Our strategy is to create a dialogue between past and future, integrating the stories of these places into their revived forms.
