About Time

SS24

MA Studio, 15 ECTS
BA Studio, 9 ECTS 
Constructing Logics
Team: Prof. Jeannette Kuo, Laura Brixel, Valentin Martin, Serafina Eipert

The studio will look at sustainability in architecture and construction through the notion of time.  Architecture has conventionally been considered as a static object caught in finite process:  that design and the architect’s responsibility ends with the handover of the keys to the client. However, underlying this static and object-oriented image of architecture, change is inevitable, even necessary. Today, our ecological crisis forces us to be more resource-conscious, to understand not only how to make the best use of our resources in understanding their lifespans but also to understand how to build lightly, leaving no trace, in deconstruction. This relation of time, space, and culture will force us to rethink certain interdependencies and to address sustainability through a holistic approach.The tension between permanence and change will be the field of experimentation for the studio. How can we conceive of buildings through different time spans? What new constructive and organizational concepts can emerge? And how do these affect the choices of materials and details? The program this semester will be an urban food production & wholesale market hall with a site in Munich.
