Seminarwoche: Hang it
This course offers an introduction to computational
design through the structural analysis & simulation
of tensile structures. Students will develop
a computational exploration of the architectural
design repertoire of tensile systems understanding
their inherent properties and capacities. They
will expand their computational skills through
modelling and simulating reusable and reconfigurable
tensile structures that will be fabricated
using standardized modular components. Finally,
and taking advantage of digital fabrication techniques,
we will develop a 1:1 scale prototype as a
proof of concept for the seminar.

Seminar Week: Structures for horticulture
The social garden is a facility of the association
initially on the outskirts of Karlsruhe, which supports
people with breaks in their CVs. They grow
a large variety of vegetables there, awarded by
Unesco. Students and teachers of the department
of construction technology have been working for
2 years on the realization of the idea of a propagation
greenhouse in the greenhouse for the social
garden. As part of the seminar week, the various
elements and construction elements made of sandstone,
concrete, steel, wood, plastic and textile
material are to be assembled and the greenhouse
erected. The construction requires a committed
group effort, with the opportunity to work in all
the materials mentioned. We are looking for students
who want to become part of the construction
team during the seminar week.

seminarweek: See me, feel me
During the seminar week, important variables
influencing the indoor climate or comfort are to be
recorded and analyzed subjectively and objectively
via measurements. After an introduction to the
different domains of comfort - thermal, olfactory,
visual, aural - and their evaluation, different
indoor spaces and outdoor situations will be examined
with the help of measuring devices and a
questionnaire. On the basis of the evaluated data,
the results will be discussed and reflected with
regard to the rooms and their characteristics (spatial,
building physics). The final result will be to
work out how comfortable spaces can be designed.

Seminarweek: „The Critical View“ -
Reflection and Evaluation of a Realized
Urban Project
The HafenCity master plan in Hamburg was
approved in 2000 and has since been implemented
in various stages. The project is one of Europe‘s
largest and most demanding urban development
projects and is now 80% complete. After an introduction
on Tuesday to the principles and goals
of urban design, a short excursion to Hamburg
will follow on Wednesday and Thursday. The
results will be presented and discussed again in
Karlsruhe on Friday. One focus will be the critical
photographic documentation. In addition, various
techniques are taught and practiced on-site.
