The Module ‚Emerging Fields in Architecture‘ imparts knowledge about the latest research, design and development in research disciplines beyond mainstream architectural topics. In this module we encourage discussion and ideas that go radically beyond the traditional way of thinking. Our goal is to trigger a process of re-thinking and finding solutions to design challenges using an interdisciplinary approach. In particular:
- Knowledge transfer of latest research and potential future fields of research.
- Higher qualification through integrative know-how from emerging occupational fields
- Discussion of creative processes leading to innovation
- The ability to meet design challenges fundamentally in its interdisciplinary context
This coming WS 2022 we are expanding our search for the ‘essentials’ towards future living in relation to the actual questions on climate, sustainability and humanity. Among other things, it is about the questions: What kind of future do we want to create? Which role(s) does architecture have in which context? What can / must architecture offer today? What can we learn from other disciplines? What visions are there and where do they lead? And what can / must be learned from the past for future projects?
- ‘Fiction’ and ‘Realization’ of architectural designs and their development process
- Latest developments and research in material science and design/construction
- Buildings in extreme environments will be discussed according to their design strategy, construction and material selection as well as their functional usability
- Architectural structures are introduced, that adapt to certain parameters during lifetime. Examples are the adaption to different environments, weather or light conditions as well as adaptation to the user himself.

Identification of buildable structural applications and their implications for construction issues, form and function in order to aid decision-making (reasoning for what and when) in their own projects.
Extreme physical, social and / or psychological conditions challenge the architectural design and construction of a building. Buildings in extreme environments will be discussed in regard to their design strategy, construction and material selection as well as their functional usability. The architectural design approach and its realization in terms of planning and construction, choice of materials as well as its usability shall be discussed on the basis of built examples.
