Die Studierenden sind in der Lage, einfache Entwurfs- und Planungsaufgaben zu bewältigen. Sie sind fähig, eine Entwurfsaufgabe zu analysieren, ein architektonisches Programm zu formulieren, ein räumliches Konzept zu erstellen und es in eine architektonische Gestaltung von hohem ästhetischem Niveau zu übersetzen.

What happens when we turn the familiar upside down? How can we break conventional form to bring “outside” elements “in” and vice versa? Can playfulness be a tool for reimagining how we experience space? This design course is an invitation to disrupt the ordinary, challenge architectural norms, and experiment with spatial storytelling.

By flipping preconceived notions of space and form, we will explore how play—both as a method and an outcome—can lead to more engaging, productive, and flexible architecture. Through hands-on exploration, intuitive making, and iterative design exercises, teams will cultivate an experiential approach to architecture that values surprise, adaptability, and the sensory experience.

The course will culminate in an experimental design proposal that reimagines an everyday spatial typology through the lens of play. Students will be encouraged to build, prototype, and test their ideas in real-time, turning theory into lived experience. This studio-based course blends workshops, field explorations, guest talks, hands-on experiments, and collective play. Students are encouraged to embrace failure, surprise, and joy as part of the design process.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, students will:

• Develop a playful, iterative, and hands-on approach to design.
• Cultivate a sense of spatial curiosity and experimentation.
• Learn to balance rigor and intuition in architectural thinking.
• Gain a deeper understanding of user experience, interaction, and adaptability in design.
• Build a final project that embodies play, participation, and discovery.

Course Format:

This studio-based course blends workshops, field explorations, guest talks, hands-on experiments, and collective play. Students are encouraged to embrace failure, surprise, and joy as part of the design process.
