Track-specific aspects of design
Architecture
You have to pay extra attention to the development of your research with respect to:
- Spatial aspects: such as experiencing space, by circulation, composition, light, texture, colour, shape and mass
- Functional aspects: such as programme, requirements, order and circulation, dimensions and physical conditions
- Material and technical aspects: such as material, detailing, physics, structure, construction, and climate design
- Contextual aspects: such as site, response to the surroundings in shape, composition, mass, function and circulation
- Socio-cultural aspects: such as socio-cultural, ethical, historical, philosophical, economical aspects – in particular sustainability
Building Technology
You have to pay extra attention to the development of your research with respect to:
- Technical aspects: such as materiality, detailing, physics, structure and façade and roof design, climate design, including calculations
- Aesthetical aspects: such as space, composition, light, texture, colour, shape and mass
- Functional aspects: such as programme, requirements, order, dimensions and physical conditions
- Contextual aspects: such as building (component) and context (site), response to the surroundings in shape, composition, and function
- Socio-cultural aspects: such as socio-cultural, ethical, historical, philosophical, economical aspects – in particular sustainability
Urbanism
You have to pay extra attention to the development of your research with respect to:
- Spatial aspects: such as the composition of structure and space, landscapes, networks and systems, material and atmosphere, time and transformations, relations between scales
- Environmental aspects: such as environmental conditions, urban metabolism, climate adaptation, water management and ecology
- Strategic (planning) aspects: planning systems and cultures, governance, political situation, decision making process, stakeholders
- Functional and technological aspects: such as land-use, programme, requirements, accessibility and connectivity, ‘new technologies’
- Socio-cultural aspects: such as social, cultural, ethical, historical, philosophical, economical aspects – in particular sustainability
Landscape Architecture
You have to pay extra attention to the development of your research with respect to:
- Spatial aspects: such as composition and systems, designing through scales, experiencing space, circulation and sensorial aspects
- Contextual and environmental aspects: such as site-specificity, process, ecology, climate design, metabolism and response to the surroundings in shape, composition and mass
- Functional aspects: such as programme, requirements, order and circulation, physical dimensions: soil, wind, temperature etc., and geomorphology conditions
- Material and time aspects: such as flora and fauna, soil and water, process of growth and succession, temporality and detailing
- Socio-cultural aspects: such as social, cultural, ethical, historical, philosophical, economical aspects – in particular sustainability
