The second part discusses the different theories like,
´support and infill´J. Habraken, ´ polyvalence´ H.Herzberger, ´Indeterminacy´ C.

Due to the current situation with the virus (Covid 19) that has hit our city Weimar and many parts of the world badly, the seminar ''Lifestyle Changes and Flexible Housing'' will be based on the E-Learning method, available via the Moodle platform.
Our first meeting will take place on May 4th, 2020 starting in the early morning at 9:15 h. (Every Monday)
Each session will consist of two parts. In the first part, a short lecture is going to be given, while in the second part student's weekly tasks (given in the previous week) will be presented and discussed.
At the end of each weekly session, students are given a small task as homework. Hence, they will further increase their knowledge about the topic and thus get ready for the final task at the end of the semester. The final submission is going to be very flexible. It might be either, short essay, sketch, collage
video, or preferably mixed.
-Note that this is an elective course, where after successful completion each student gets 3 ECTS.
-Some of the literature, available for the participant students on this course will be uploaded in the moodle platform. |
