Lehrinhalt

This course is part of the
GBE Module Building greening advanced (elective)

In this lecture, we will explore the intersection between architecture and nature (plants). The course will cover various topics, including the benefits of building greenery, techniques for integrating plants into building structures, case studies of successful projects, and the needs of plants in the extreme habitat of the urban environment.

We will work with small assignments between each lecture to get short feedback loops and a vivid exchange. Furthermore, contemporary research projects on the subject will be presented, covering topics such as the use of greywater for irrigation, shading of glass facades with plants, and the greenery of wooden structured buildings. During the lecture, soft skills will also play a vital part in the development of the students.
Lehrziel

Students can solve basic design and equipment questions referring to irriga-tion, substrate, use of greywater and recycled material, modular multi-layered systems, pot and climbing aid design and plant health on their own and in teams and generate creative solutions. The students have the competences for adequately communicating design and technical questions and planning de-tails. They can argue on water, substrate and plant needs and on equipment, the use and integration of recycled material and grey-water-based systems.
Students have competences to collect relevant data and state-of-the art knowledge for irrigation design and equipment. They integrate approved sys-tems with up-to-date scientific knowledge to create new solutions for complex building situations. They can evaluate plant needs and impacts on plant health.
