Imaginary Realities

Sommersemester 2020
Masterprojekt

IMAGINARY REALITIES - Transformation for a Sustainable Future
Gastprof. Nicolai Bo Andersen

"Architects don’t invent anything, they transform reality." Alvaro Siza

The passage between reality and imagination is the pivotal point for the semester work.
The assignment is to make a proposal for a transformation of an existing building in Munich.
Each student will imagine their own reality - based on existing drawings, historic documents and a film - and create their own site in miniature models and drawings.
The phenomenological qualities are essential. The direct, physical experience of materials, tectonics and space. Texture and gravity. Quietness and movement. Light and shadow.
The proposal must consider technical, functional as well as aesthetic aspects. It must be functionally adaptable, technically robust and the spaces must have a strong architectural presence.
Special attention must be given to materials, tectonics and the spatial character seen in relation to the question of sustainability.
