About the Program

The architecture department offers workshops on different topics addressing the current development and challenges of city planning. Metrische Variationen is an experimental atelier that delves into the notions of metrics, rhythm, unit and repetition. These concepts will be applied to elementary architectural themes. The students will be guided into understanding the connection between metrics and architectural figure and form, by exploring poetic, pictorial and musical composition, using drawing as the primary investigation tool. The workshop attempts to learn the strategies discussed in practical application and to reflect on them critically. The course consists of two parts: an introduction with basic exercises and an atelier where notions are applied to design. An exhibition concludes the course to share and discuss the design results.
