The lecture series „Basics of Building Technology“ is closely related to the contents of the studio. The lectures are structured by basic elements of construction and are conveying a deeper look into the relations between material, detail, construction and design, illustrated by contemporary as well as classical built examples. The main focus lies on analysis and reflection, which complement fundamental technical aspects. As such, the lecture series is supplemented by tutorials and works as a basis and stimulus for autodidactic work, which is essential for studio activity.
