Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Considering the rich and complex construction history a history of ideas and concepts, improvisations and attempts, lots of inspiring facets can be made accessible for contemporary designers. A new teaching concept is therefore proposed pursuing the problem of structural form from three different directions: material properties, experimentation, and scientific concepts. The students translate the concepts of historical constructions studied in-depth into a contemporary context and develop new formal and constructional solutions by combining key features of historic examples with contemporary possibilities and conditions. |
