AbstractIn the elective "Material-Lab" the students are given the possibility to get to know materials in a theoretical and practical way. Also they investigate the potential of the contemporary architecture by means of a material specific survey.
The focus is laid on constructive questions and on the investigation of the influence on architectonic form and expression.
ObjectiveWork on materials and make architecture out of it. This is the basic of any construction. It does not go without the knowledge of historic correlations and the know-how on how to apply on the one hand, but also an exploratory spirit on the other hand.
The elective "Material-Lab aims to become an expert of exemplary materials and handling and deepen knowledge for the correlation of material, construction, forma and architectonic expression.

In the Material-Lab new, common and partly forgotten materials and their workmanship is investigated and where and ow the potential for new possibilities in architecture could be. We discuss why certain materials have disappeared from nowadays building practice and how far the could again be usable by means of new tools and methods. we investigate the possibility of such "old" materials for new architectonic projects.

Particular focus is laid on the investigation of use and constructive implementation with sustainable targets, namely long-lasting architecture keeping its values in any respect.
ContentVarious techiques are investigated on their current and architectonic potential and discussed in colloquiums. Basics are given in lectures and prepared research results.

The students work in small groups during the semester on a project which is also being discussed with experts. We are looking for conepts for contemporary and material specific constructions and a appropriate architectonic expression.

Subsequent to this course the studies may be deepened in a elective thesis and transferred in a project 1:1.
