The course has its focus on deeper understanding of architecture theories and aesthetics by practise, as well as by theoretical studies. The content of the course is thematically organised, i.e. for each course, a new theme is selected. The succession of themes improves the course, while the critical and reflective design process constitute the sustainable kernel of the course.
The tuition is carried out in the form of lectures, seminars, practice oriented assignments, fieldtrips, workshops and individual thesis work. The course is conducted in an innovative spirit regarding the development of tuition and examinations.
