Description
This optional module allows for various kinds of research studies. It is closely connected to the five units of the Liechtenstein School of Architecture and is usually part of ongoing research projects. The supervision consists of directing the students towards clear results within a given field of research. The individual study is reviewed within the respective unit.
Craft & Structure Unit:
The students' desire for good learning and recreational spaces will soon be realised. The large space of the former student services centre on the lower level of the campus is to be transformed into an innovative learning landscape. The study focuses on creating opportunities for social interaction within the confines of the given space and designing new working environments for students. The submission includes a convincing spatial concept, which includes an attractive interior design with the treatment of room dividers, screens, seating furniture, light, colours and surfaces. Prototypes are built for this purpose, which can be tested for their spatial effect and solidity. You will be asked to respect what you discover through observation and experimentation as well as to consider stability and flexibility. How hard can an piece of furniture be, how much comfort should it provide? Are the objects static or do they deform under load? Form the expression from the material and the type of manufacture. The goal is to find a clearly identifiable construction concept. The design should use as much used furniture as possible (e.g. free old used furniture (e.g. free old furniture from the state administration that we might have). The realisation of the designs is planned for the coming semester with LSA students.
Qualifications

- manage their own learning within a research project.
- identify a research topic and develop it coherently into a clear proposal.
- analyse data and situations under guidance, using a range of techniques and methods appropriate to the subject.
- critically evaluate evidence to support research topics, reviewing its reliability, validity and significance.
- explain competently, discuss and critique their own work through oral presentation, writing or visual communication.
- understand how to work with confidence in the complex organisational and community settings within which the applied methods and design processes are typically deployed.
- collaborate in teams and support each other during the learning process.
