During the first semester, students create an elevation model based on a randomly assigned scale and elevation templates.

The elevation layer plan forms the basis for this and must be adapted and reworked to include elements such as buildings, terraces, and trees.

The materials can be chosen freely (cardboard, Bristol board, Kapa board, etc.), and the color scheme and design should be creative, but consistent and coherent.

At the end of the semester, the individual elevation models are then turned into a kind of puzzle. Students must find the “neighbors” adjacent to their elevation layers, which together form a picture. Here, the imprint of an elephant has been created.

The task of the first semester students was to design a garden with an architectural reference to the given building and in connection with the residents they had chosen. A profile, concept and various plans and views were drawn up.

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.

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.

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

The first-year students of the winter semester 2020/21 are presenting their works about “form and function”, “line and structure” as well as sketching vegetation and its abstraction. 

Supervision:                                           Prof. Annegret Stöcker

The spectrum of the basic design training ranges from the abstract representation of vegetation to experimenting with writing and playing with form and reduction in model making. The introduction to layouting is made possible by the format of the leporello, in which the various individual representations are combined.
