Master Architecture

In the 4 semesters of the Master's degree program, students acquire knowledge and skills based on in-depth fundamental knowledge of current issues from research and practice, which enables them to practice their profession in all fields of planning in a structural-spatial or strategic-conceptual context and to conduct their own scientific research and forms the prerequisite for "chamber eligibility".

A particular goal is the development of an individual study profile with orientation towards the diverse requirements of the methodically and content-wise differentiated professional fields.

The Architecture degree program is interdisciplinary and linked to the two other departmental degree programs Urban and Regional Planning and Landscape Planning & Landscape Architecture

To the department profile

Courses I Master's specializations

The deepening of planning and design skills in complex and interdisciplinary contexts forms the core of the curriculum throughout the course. Teaching content and forms are based on the unity of teaching and research and, in addition to specialist knowledge, impart methodological and system competence as well as strategic competence.

Master's specialization ST - Urban Planning / Urban Design

Focus: The development of skills for in-depth spatial analysis and the development of urban design competence, including architectural and landscape planning issues

Special learning objectives: Design skills in the area of new planning, renovation and additions to architectural and spatial structures, reflection in the discourse of urban planning theories and guiding principles

Master's specialization DR - Design Research

The focus is on planning and design strategies for architectural organization and design, construction (development and innovation) and design methodology. Possible design parameters include

experimental-innovative questions of form finding and construction,
systematic form development processes based on digital techniques (generative design),
theory-based design

Master's specialization UPB - Environmentally conscious planning and building

Focus: planning and design strategies geared towards sustainability (development and innovation).

Special learning objective: a profound understanding of the functional and design dimension of environmentally conscious planning at all levels as well as the aesthetic dimensions of building physics and climatic requirements for buildings and their surroundings

Master's specialization BW | Construction Industry and Project Development | ARCHITECTURE CITY ECONOMY

Focus:
Planning and design strategies with high design standards and a focus on political economy in the direction of a socio-ecological transformation in the construction industry.
Special learning objective:
a profound understanding of economic relationships in the construction industry between land policy, ownership structures, use of resources and planning instruments, as well as knowledge and application of social and ecological project development strategies at various scales - from housing and public construction to urban planning, from exhibition architecture to the design of public space
