Advanced Representation Techniques (Vertiefung Darstellungstechniken)

SS 2025

In the second semester students strongly develop their Architectural Representation skills addressing the intersections of form, style, structure, and communication through a ‘DigiLog’ approach.

Task 1

The students focus on an object of their choice with both simple and curved surfaces. Observing and understanding it´s shape and geometry the students are tasked to 3D-model the objects using Rhinoceros 3D. Based on the digital model the students additionally build a physical paper model, further exploring the object´s underlying structure.

Task 2

The second tasks aims to transform the 3D-modelled object from task 1 into an imaginative architecture, altering the object into a floating city. The emphasis is on visualising the floating city and it´s surroundings, using generative AI (Comfy UI + Flux) and other digital tools as well as analogue tools, such as hand-drawn sketches.
