In the subject ‘Space and Form’, urban districts in Tübingen were analysed and further developed in summer semester 2024. The aim was to analyse how buildings, open spaces and streets function on the basis of the lecture and to develop their own strategies for designing urban spaces. The students were able to choose between four neighbourhoods: Mühlenviertel, Alte Weberei, Französisches Viertel and Lorettoviertel. What they learned was then to be presented in a draft concept for the further development of the neighbourhood.

Supervision: Prof Rainer Sachse

In groups, the students of the 2nd semester had to redesign and plan the public green spaces and the roadside greenery of Rossdorf, Nürtingen

A inventory plan and design plan was drawn up, as well as design and implementation plans of sub-areas in individual work.

The design of a front garden was the task in the first design project and laid the foundation for the development of design skills. The first-semester students had to reconcile form and function with technical, social, ecological, and economic requirements in a complex design process. It was clear that a bare gravel area should be avoided and that the previously developed profile of the residents should be taken into account. The results were illustrated and summarized in a brochure.

Supervisor: Prof. Dr.- Ing. Birgit Kröniger

The first-year students learned important design basics in various exercises on the topics of “Form and Function”, “Line and Structure” and the “Representation and Abstraction of Vegetation”. The results were then summarised in a leporello.
