The design of buildings is a formal response to a program and a specific environment.
We understand the design process as a means to gain insights into an architectural
problem. Design is a hypothesis rather than an answer, a way of investigating the cor-
rectness of a program, the potential of a specific environment and the opportunities
inherent in the formal concepts of our time.

Designing With the Perspective[ 3 ECTS ]
The exercise is compulsory for all students taking part in the iAAD
design course.
Architectural thinking finds its expression in sketches and drawings.
Ideas vital to the design concept are usually developed in plan,
section and elevation; perspectives are usually drawn towards the
end of the design process. The seminar is concerned with perspective
sketches and drawings during the whole design process. In four
exercises, important aspects of the spatial concept will be explored
with the help of perspective drawings.
1st assignment

Principle and Form[ 6 ECTS ]
Architectural drawings are an abstraction, a method to investigate
an architectural principle, the programmatic idea and an urban or
natural situation. The design process encompasses analysis as well
as synthesis. Clear-cut methods and rational procedures can only be
applied to a degree. Often accidental and unintended deviations,
often an unexpected obstacle helps to show up the right principle.
In this seminar, we will be looking for permanent, essential and
characteristic architectural attributes inherent in plan, section and
facade. It is the timeless and universal qualities that we are after. The
aim of this seminar will be to articulate fundamental architectural
principles by drawing; by distilling and comparing and stripping
away irrelevant circumstances, we would like to discover universal
principles involved in the design of buildings.
Architectural drawings can be as eloquent as written or spoken
language in communicating complex and subtle ideas. It will
therefore be important to aim at consistency and precision in graphic
expression.

The lectures deal with the historical evolution of public buildings
and public spaces. Two aspects are important: function and
architectural space. The history of function is one of diversification
and specialisation. History has shown that programmatic ideas and
spatial ideas correspond within their own time but that form does
not always follow function. In many cases, typical spatial forms
are capable of coping with a diversity of functional requirements.
Function can be implicit as well as explicit; how could we otherwise
reuse older buildings.
Public buildings and public spaces are as much a result of conflicting
architectural ideas proposed by different periods of history as they
are the result of a specific programmatic idea of their own time. Ideal
buildings and ideal spaces are the exception; in most cases, architects
are concerned with the reconciliation of conflicting spatial ideals and
conflicting programmatic ideas. The lecture course supports the idea
that the intuitive design process is part of a greater architectural
history. The lectures deal with the present, and with the past in
relation to the present.

European Skyscraper IIIiAAD Design Project
[ 12 ECTS ]
The use of the word “skyscraper” is first recorded roughly 120 years
ago in reference to certain newly erected buildings in Chicago. The
motivation for them was an urge for innovation (which would have
been inconceivable without technological invention), and the desire of
commercial companies for self-portrayal in an urban context. It is no
coincidence, therefore, that the high-rise building had its origins in
Chicago and New York at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the
20th centuries with the rise of American “cathedrals of commerce”.
At all events, the architecture of skyscrapers is regarded as a deve-
lopment that took place on the other side of the ocean. While most
US churches, museums and banks were uninspired reproductions of
European ideals, the skyscraper was a native product and a symbol
of the American spirit, according to the US architectural critic Claude
Bragdon. The direct relationship between this type of building and the
American ideology of progress and success is probably an important
reason why it is still regarded with such suspicion in Europe.
Robert KaltenbrunnerIcons of Progress – High Rise Buildings, Their Motivation, Aesthetics and Effects. Detail 9/2007
These quotes are a convincing reflection on one aspect of the history
of skyscrapers. Does this mean, however, that European architects
were less enthusiastic about a building type that has always see-
med antagonistic to the established concepts of the European town?
There is very little evidence for this supposition, as there are many
notable European architects who did design a skyscraper: Le Corbu-
sier, Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, Adolf Loos, Tony Garnier,
Auguste Perret or Antonio Sant’Elia. The first generation of modern
architects on both sides of the Atlantic worked on proposals for high-
rise buildings regardless of whether they were designing for Chicago,
New York, Berlin, Paris or Milan. Even those architects who belong
to the second and third generation, those who have defended the
European town against the concepts of modern town planning, like
Peter and Alison Smithson in Great Britain or Oswald Mathias Ungers
and Hans Kollhoff in Germany have designed high-rise buildings. In
contrast to the first generation, some members of the second and
third generation have taken great pains to reflect upon the situation
of the European town with its rich historic layering of urban ideas.
Students taking part in this year’s iAAD design project will be asked
to give thought to the special history of the skyscraper in a European
context, the changes taking place in the nature of public function
and public space, the relationship between the icon and public space
and the spatial principles of organising public functions vertically.

Social and political discourses have recently been placed at the
forefront of cultural practice. This can be seen in the art/culture
world’s engagement with social and political critique and its search
for ways of intervention and action. This lecture series emphasizes
the social and political perspective of space making as it is narrated
and viewed through photography and film.
Films and sound recordings are selected for their capacity in
showing how architecture can present the history and conflicts of a
transforming society, but also for its function as a medium of politics
and ideology. Architecture is here understood as both presence and
representation. The reading of architectural documents - sketches,
construction plans, correspondences, photographs, or the recordings
of witness accounts and opinions of inhabitants, experts, authors
(architects) also allows for a particular mode of reflecting about
architectural history and theory.
The lecture series intersects with the program of Bauhaus-
ARGUMENTE which invites architects, film-makers, artists and
theorists to present their work. Please refer to the programme for
details.

Experimental Structural Dynamics[ 6 ECTS ]
In this project the students learn experimental methodologies that
enable them to extract information about the dynamic properties,
such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios from
existing structures. This includes both the theoretical concepts and
the application of experimental equipment. The students will work
in interdisciplinary groups. Together they will develop the structural
concept for a high-rise building that is supposed to be subjected
by an earthquake excitation. The building should be based on the
design the architecture students develop within the design project
“European Skyscraper III”. Within the project the students will build
a physical model of the structure that represents the main features of
the designed building. The model will be tested with respect to its
modal parameters and response to an earthquake excitation.
Students of architecture contribute to the project with their skills in
design and project development. Furthermore they will get familiar
in this interdisciplinary project with problems and methods in
structural dynamics.
