Referenzraum
This subproject offers insights into learning architectural theory on the basis of student work. Because in the best case, most learning can be done in exchange with fellow students. This project will contribute to this and propose the development of the digital teaching and learning platform "Reference Space" for the subject of architecture.
References (usually exemplary buildings) lead a double life in architecture: As part of historical discourses and as a reference for a contemporary practice, they are an indispensable part of the writing and teaching of architectural history. For many students, references are considered the currency that allows them to enter a design process and also to be understood by teachers - making it all the more important for teachers to teach a critical approach to them. Each year, students research and reappraise nearly 100 buildings in architectural history. They develop an independent, critical perspective on the historical reference in the "Lecture Theory and History of Modern Architecture". Making this work visible to subsequent students and other courses, embedding it in discourse, and making it available for design processes is the goal of the "Reference Room." What we understand as architecture depends on the references we surround ourselves with. Thus, the "reference space" becomes a constantly updated reflection of what we read as architecture at our faculty.
