Aim

The aim of this course is to develop the student’s knowledge about time-related aspects of architecture (as it unfolds at different spatial scales) and mediate this knowledge both in a  theoretical and a practical way. In a questioning and creative manner, the course also aims to develop the students understanding of how the temporal aspects of architecture relates to other architectural issues, as well as to a societal context. In terms of subject, the course will focus on theoriesand research  that look at time-space from a perspective of architecture. During the course, students will be given the possibility of working with an own interventional project, and through this work explore both theoretical and methodological aspects of architecture, urbanity and landscape from a time-space perspective. The course aims to prepare students for resarch in architecture with a special emphasis on arts and humanities and social issues.
