Summary Students are assigned to design a building near Leiden station for a municipal authority. A key factor in the design brief stipulates that the building must make optimal use of the sites existing wind climate. Computer and wind-tunnel simulations will be used during the design process to verify that this condition is met.

Course Contents Students are asked to prepare an architectural design with a very simple and clear-cut brief, but with a complex setting and complicated urban wind climate. The gloomy environment calls for a building whose presence and impact will improve and enrich the local environment. Despite the unpleasant (noisy and smelly) physical environment, the building must be user-friendly. The extremely simple and clear-cut brief means that these goals cannot be achieved by a special spatial concept but by the utilisation of architectural, constructional and climate-control elements. It is precisely in the materialisation and in the solution of the physical problems in question (i.e. noise, smell and limited foundation possibilities) that inspiration can be found. The assignment

A design for a 20,000 m2 project needs to be drawn up for a municipal authority. On the ground floor the brief covers counter facilities and open plan exhibition areas. The first floor houses all-purpose offices either side of a central corridor. Finally there is a large canteen and small basement carpark. The project is located near Leiden Station. The elongated building site (175 x 35 m) is tightly bounded by roads and is parallel to the busy The Hague Haarlem/Amsterdam railway line. The environment is disagreeable. On the one side there is a series of architecturally undistinguished offices with a dead feel to them, especially at ground level. On the other side there is a featureless wall at ground level where the elevated railway track runs through the city. Foundations can be laid along no more than half the length of the building site. The site is full of important mains pipes and cables, to which access must also be retained. The new building needs to set high standards in terms of sustainability, to improve the quality of the local environment and to be user-friendly. It needs to act as a positive advertisement for Leiden for the many rail travellers.

The studio

Students perform their work in the studio, where they are encouraged to design using scale-models. Apart from assistance and coaching by a head supervisor, weekly support is also provided by a structural engineer and climate-control consultant. The student prepares the constructional design and the climate-control system. The consultants encourage and provide advice and guidance on the overall dimensions. The senior supervisor provides encouragement and advice in respect of the building. Finally the senior lecturer encourages the student to integrate all the elements into a single architectonic whole, which is then assessed.

Study Goals - The capacity for architectonic design using architectural, structural and climate-control elements.

- The capacity to integrate and coordinate architectural, structural and climate-control elements into a single architectonic plan. - The ability to convey a design to others clearly in image and the written and spoken word.

- The ability to analyse ones own design process and make it clear to others.

Education Method Individual or group design assignment in studio context during 2nd and 4th quarter. Course-load hours: 364 hrs.

Per week / per student: 1 contact moment in each of architecture/building technology, structural engineering and climate design. This course is supported by staff members of the Wind Energy Group

Summary In this course students learn to prepare coherent architectural designs in a professional, targeted and effective manner, and to deliver relevant information using various media techniques. The first part of the course takes the form of a series of workshops wherein video, photography, presentation techniques, computer visualisation, modelling techniques and form studies provide insight into their technical applications. In the second part students apply these diverse media forms towards their own final project presentation. Students verbal and visual communication skills are tested via these individual presentations, which are held before course participants and teaching staff.

Course Contents This programme is designed to confront and familiarise the Masters student with various forms and combinations of imagery and transfer. The aim is to train the participants in various techniques and to coach them in the effective application of those techniques in individual presentations, making use of audiovisual, graphic and multimedia resources. In addition students are asked to become aware of the substantive qualities of their topic and are encouraged to make choices and place emphases at the level of their presentation. The technical possibilities are explored and expanded in the first part of the process by a series of exercises (2D and 3D computer visualisation, photography and video (both digital and analog), image-processing techniques, graphic design, scale-model techniques and various drawing techniques), while insights and personal communication are enhanced in workshops (e.g. form study, presentation drawing and oral presentation). Various media are used in presenting the material. Individual communication is tested and commented upon on the basis of physical presentations for participants and teaching staff. The object of study and presentation is an architectural study product (e.g. a design, technical application or process). This project can in principle be completed at an earlier point in the course. Group sessions are conducted in English.

Study Goals The ability to prepare architectural drafts and designs professionally, efficiently and effectively and to convey the relevant information to a predetermined target group, making use of various media/multimedia techniques.

Education Method Integral course element, lasting one quarter ( 9 weeks), consisting of a series of exercises, workshops, lectures and substantive supervision, resulting in various end-products and a concluding project presentation plus written report. Indication: 30 half-days study with substantive and/or technical supervision (incl. project presentation and evaluation) plus 60 half-days of individual study.

Assessment The various progress results are assessed on an interim basis. Together with the assessment of the concluding, individual presentation and the written report this results in a final mark.

Expected prior knowledge BSc

Course Contents Theory Project is made up of two parts - a seminar and a lecture series. This lecture series will consists of a selection of lectures taking place in the DSD program venue. The purpose of this series, by requiring the students to attend a somewhat diverse set of lectures, is to teach the students how to prepare a relevant set of research related questions with which, through which, they can successfully approach diverse topics, and subsequently, synthesize specific aspects of these areas of research into their own design studio research.

Study Goals The goal of this series is to introduce students to diverse yet relevant knowledge that will assist them with developing their ambitions with regard to the "Imagining Architecture" design studios (both Maas & Graafland variants)

Exam Period 4

Course Contents Over the past several decades the constitutive limits within the profession of architecture have significantly expanded. Architectural discourse as well has sought to challenge its own horizons. It is hardly in need of saying; but the oft held dualism between Theory & Practice - whereby theory is seen to somehow pose or formulate the problematic to which design must subsequently respond, or in which design will then be engaged in order to issue answers simply no longer holds. The problem of making and the problem of thought are both matters which concern theoretical discourse within spatial disciplines; today they have become intertwined in a form of what we may generally refer to as the problematic of thinking or what Hauptmann refers to as trans_thinking.

Study Goals This course will teach students how to work between design and theoretical forms of thinking; to utilize distinct yet inter-related structures of knowledge towards the development of a more advanced and well considered architectectural vision towards practice.

Course Contents In this design workshop the students will work with raw audio-visual footage of Mexico Citys settlements. The aim is to analyze this pre-selected, pre-edited and digitalized visual material, detecting different spatial (typological, morphological, topological) phenomena and conditions within it, and re-editing / re-montaging it such a way that the research-design intentions become explicit. This will result in a short clip that will be used as the medium to produce a series of translations into diagrams and relationship-models, which in turn will be the point of departure of a mapping process. (See Film-Video-City Design Studio description for further information)

Study Goals The goal of the workshop is to provide students with highly specialized skills which will help them to better understand the manner in which the associated studio approaches not only the design task but the design problematic itself. In other words, as with all courses in this DSD MSc 2 program, the relation between the means of production and the ideas behind the work are investigated. The teaching aim of the workshop is to offer students an exemplifying example of this principle.

Course Contents In this design studio the students will begin with a workshop (see Film-Video-City Workshop description). With this they will learn to develop independent mapping methods which will then be applied to the task of generating a collective map of Mexico Citys settlements. This map will be worked out into a scaled model of the informal settlement. The nature of this urban structure, its informal and dynamic structure will be engaged with a series of precise and critical design interventions. Collectively, the students, the studios interventions will act to offer an entirely new architectural view on the possibilities of transformations in Mexico City as a model of an informal city. In the 21st century the relationship between architecture and the urban has become decisively intertwined; engaging this relationship is what we refer to here as imagining architecture. This studio is designed to challenge not only the students understanding of architecture and the city; but, the very manner in which they approach their view on design as a method of material practice and spatio-politic intervention.

Study Goals Students will learn new techniques for approaching the complexity of the 21st century urban condition and its subsequent relationship with the object we call architecture. They will study architecture as a temporal and spatial practice through the medium of film and drawing with the goal to perceive social, economic and political relationships which had previously remained concealed. The end goal is simply to advance students towards a more consequent and considered set of design objectives and sensitivities and to give them a new set of skills with which to begin to achieve these goals.

Course Contents The Why Factory (TWF) is an exploratory studio; a think tank, a content-driven design and research studio with practical and theoretical scope. It proclaims to be part of an independent network, operating from the purity and beauty of science and fiction. The studio wants to intervene wherever possible. From here to there. TWF wants to study the next city scapes through a direct activation of possible urban and architectural interventions. As direct as possible. It wants to address a proactive attitude in architecture and urban planning. TWF can be seen as a research lab and platform that aims to analyze, theorize and construct future cities. TWF investigates within the given world and produces future scenarios beyond it; from universal to specific and global to local. It proposes, constructs and envisions hypothetical societies and cities; from science to fiction and vice versa. Thus, TWF acts as a future world scenario making machinery.

In the Spring of 2008, a start up program will be run experimenting with two of a series of possible studio briefs that the Maas team will be running over the coming years within the DSD Future Cities program. These two studios are entitled: World Wonders & Green Dreams. These studios have been chosen due to the opposite positions required with regard to the observational rigor applied to their respective objects of analysis; while equally, both projects necessarily project a visionary approach.

Study Goals TWF investigates within the given world and produces future scenarios beyond it; from universal to specific and global to local. It proposes, constructs and envisions hypothetical societies and cities; from science to fiction and vice versa. Thus, TWF teaches students how to produce architecture by developing the means towards designing a future world scenario making machinery.

Course Contents This course is concerned with the advanced possibilities afforded by ICKT (information, communication and knowledge technology) and new media in supporting the design process during the various stages of design, materialisation and realisation in architecture, urbanism and building technology.

You explore these advanced possibilites (one or more) within a project that you define yourself. You can let your choice be guided by project proposals from the lecturers, your own interests, or by techniques you would like to apply in your graduation project (with exception of presentation techniques). According to your choice of project, youre supervised by one of the lecturers, who assists you in the specific field of knowledge and the application of ICKT and new media. Examples of possible project themes are:

-generative design (scripting, design patterns) -design simulation (dynamics, performance simulation) -design exploration (parametric modelling, scripting) -design prototyping (virtual, physical)

-digital manufacturing (CAD, CAE, CAM)

Examples of tools that can be used: Maya (dynamics and MEL scripting), Pro-Engineer, Pepakura, Z-print, Intelligent design support tool.

During the workshop in the first week, you learn about the various possibilities by means of a number of project proposals. Next, you define your own project in consultation with the lecturer, after which you develop your project under individual supervision. At the end of the quarter, you present your result to the group.

Study Goals You have knowledge and insight into the possibilities of ICKT and new media for supporting the design-materialisation-realisation process in architecture, urbanism and building technology.

You are able to apply ICKT and new media in an advanced manner in support of the design process.

16 uur per semester

Course Contents The key question concerns how the relationship between building, city and landscape and between urban culture and nature has been dealt with in a particular building.The lectures deal with landscape architecture theories, concepts and design techniques. The topic is the discovery of the landscape as the object of architecture in relation to the city. The lectures discuss the roots of urban landscape architecture: the mediaeval hortus conclusus, the Italian Renaissance villa, the French formal garden, the English landscape garden, the Dutch country residence and the modern villa. These foundations are brought up-to-date in a series of lectures on selected topics addressing current themes and questions: new country residences, residential landscapes, working landscapes, new nature, large infrastructure projects, water management. The lectures unravel the various design techniques. With the aid of this knowledge students are then asked to select a design themselves and to analyse it in terms of landscape architecture.

Study Goals - knowledge of the construction of the typology and the technology of the Dutch landscape. - knowledge of materialisation of the open space.

- understanding of landscape architectural theories, concepts and design techniques.

- skill in the analysis and transformation of and experimentation with landscape architecture compositions.

x/x/x/x

40 uur per semester

Course Contents Landscape Architecture WorkshopWithin this five-day workshop students work intensively on a current assignment drawn from practice or a research question set by the section. The assignment changes each semester. Particular emphasis is placed on working on an interdisciplinary basis (with artists, civil engineers, restorers and filmmakers, etc.). The topic is always the discovery of the landscape in all its facets as an object of architectural treatment. Possible subjects include the building of a polder town, researching current water problems, garden design and dredging in the harbour landscape. The working methods and lecturer numbers may vary from one occasion to another. The outcome of the workshop is a report drawn up by the students. The subject in question is announced well in advance on the infonet and B-news.

Study Goals - taking cognisance of assignments, cooperation with other disciplines and practical work - understanding of theories, concepts and design tools relevant to landscape architecture; - familiarity with current issues in the field of landscape architecture;

- proficiency in drawing techniques that convey the scale, texture and materials of a landscape; - ability to design with an eye to the interaction between architecture and landscape;

- ability to work as part of a team.

Villa Urbana - Drawing Research

Responsible Instructor Dr.ir. S.I. de Wit Education Period 1 3 Start Education 1 3 Exam Period 1 3

Course Contents This project is not concerned with the drawing as a means of presentation but with the influence and use of the drawing for the designer. The key question concerns the way in which designers approach an assignment and the role played by the drawing within that assignment. The aim is to provide a practical and stimulating project that can help the students develop a personal handwriting, to discover the toolkit of the landscape architect, to gain understanding of the natural landscape and to build up compositional knowledge and skills.Despite the differences in coding, each drawing embraces a stylisation of space and time with a view to rendering it instrumental for design purposes. The drawing has three primary functions: reproduction, conscious observation and careful recording; analysis and reduction to elementary forms and abstractions; and experiment, the hypothesis, the challenge. The essence of research by design here is the systematisation of series of sketches and drawings. The drawing is regarded as a critical instrument of creative energy and generator of ideas and as a quest for confrontation, comparison and positions.During one quarter the methods and techniques of a wide range of international designers are related to three experimental drawing assignments. These cover the treatment of a map, a town plan and a building/structure. The three maps are analysed in terms of the rhythm and lines of force of the landscape. Examples include sedimentation, erosion, tidal movements, growth stages and blossoming cycles, as well as the influence of damp, light, wind and temperature. By way of support and reflection the drawing oeuvre of one designer is discussed each week.

Study Goals - analysis of spatial concepts and drawing techniques specific to individual international designers; - representation and remoulding of typological characteristics of the Dutch landscape;

- application of experimental drawing techniques to convey spatial concepts;

- implementation of drawings as a tool for gaining knowledge and skill in landscape architecture compositions.

x/x/x/x

Exam Period 4

Course Contents Hyperbody, directed by Prof. Kas Oosterhuis, proposes a practice oriented approach implemented in co-operation with internationally relevant architectural and engineering offices, research institutes and factories, which employ computer-based design and fabrication methods.

The MSc 2 course offered by Hyperbody is a free choice module implementing the design of non-standard and/or interactive projects

. It operates on the basis of input from external practices, industry and institutes combined together with high-end academic tutoring. Students gain substantial knowledge by means of registering with selected firms or institutes. Furthermore, they develop expertise in non-standard and interactive architecture by explicitly implementing their practical experience in a self-defined Protospace-project.

The Hyperbody teaching team guides MSc2 students in the process of design development by following a two steps procedure: [1] Participating students are designated to one of the co-operating architectural or engineering offices, research institutes, or factories, where they participate in practice- or research-oriented projects.

[2] In a second step, techniques and specializations learned from the cooperating institutions are implemented by students in a Protospace-project, which is a multi-player, design environment developed by Hyperbody.

In this process, students develop their own, individual Protospace-project based on their previous work and research experience developed at the respective institutions.

For this purpose, students are introduced to the Protospace-environment, which enables experts/players such as designers, engineers, and environmentalist to develop collaboratively architectural projects.

Hyperbodys association with external practices compromises the following fields: -non-standard architecture and computationally driven architectural practices

-Interactive design and architecture offices led by artist, interaction designers, interior designers and architects -Technological firms with specific emphasis on R&D

-Research institutes engaged in scientific research on computation-based design and product development

Study Goals The MSc2 module aims at the theoretical and practical development of the students. In doing so, the following goals have been rendered:

-Developing experience in architectural and engineering offices, research institutes or factories.

-Implementing individual design projects reflecting the exposure that each student had at their respective practice or research institutions.

-Sharing practice experience with research and design partners in Protospace.

-Developing expertise in knowledge-exchange between art, architecture, science, industry and technology.

Course Contents The previously built up knowledge is broadened and deepened in this unit for the purposes of the graduation project. Special attention is paid to learning how to deal rigorously with the source material and to building up a systematic, coherent and logical conceptual framework geared to the students own research and research problems and aims and, by way of extension, to the preparation of an independent model and to theory-building.Students produce a written report on the basis of the literature survey and present this within a series of selected topics and produce a written report on the basis of the literature survey, which they present to one another and the lecturers within the selected topics series. Members of staff and lecturers from outside the graduation laboratory also participate in this series with their own research results.

Study Goals - Knowledge, insight and skills in relation to setting up and carrying out a systematic literature survey. - Insight and skills in learning how to deal with diversified source material at academic level.

- Ability to arrive by means of model-building and theory-building at an independent, systematic conceptual framework around which to organise the literature survey.

- Skill in the oral and written presentation of research results.

Education Method Form of instruction and course load breakdown:A changing series of presentations by lecturers and students on current developments in research in progress, together with an individual systematic literature survey tailored to each graduand and concerned with the subject of the MSc laboratory in question and the individual graduation project. In planning the allocation of their free-electives, students decide whether to take part in this course unit and, if so, on what scale (4, 10 or 13 ECTS). Enrolling for these units can be done in any combination, as evident from the selected size in ECTS. In total this course unit consists of three parts, for each which of which separate reports with their own questions and conclusions are required. These are:1.An exploratory literature survey aimed at the field covered by one of the three RE&H graduation laboratories in which an answer is provided to a relatively general research question posed by the student, the main goal being orientation towards the laboratory domain and an understanding of the state-of-the-art in the research field in question. This unit (4 ECTS) is given in the first quarter of each semester and is supervised by the respective lab coordinators.2.An in-depth literature survey aimed at research questions from the provisional individual study plan. To a greater extent than in the case of the exploratory literature survey, this survey is concerned with building up a systematic conceptual framework combined with critical reflection based on personal theory-building and modelling, with particular emphasis on the ability to specify the scientific relevance, social relevance and utilisation. This unit (6 ECTS) is given in the second quarter of each semester and is supervised by the senior tutor working to the respective lab coordinators.3.Workshops on a series of selected topics related to the subjects explored in the graduation laboratory are organised by the students themselves with the cooperation of members of staff, other students, guest speakers and researchers from outside the laboratory. Students must demonstrably participate in these workshops and produce a report with critical reflection. This course unit comes under the responsibility of the respective lab coordinators and is given throughout the third semester. It is worth 3 ECTS.

Assessment Written reports on the literature survey(s) with reflection (where the enrolment numbers permit) on the selected topics series. The exploratory literature study is assessed at the end of the first quarter, and the in-depth literature study and the report with reflection of the series of selected topics at the end of the semester.

The central theme is sustainable development, sustainable building and sustainable urban development.This subject can form part of the TU graduation specialisation Technology in Sustainable Development (TiDO), see www.odo.tudelft.nl.

Study Goals Students who have successfully completed this course element:

- Are capable of effectively analysing complex urban development situations in which divergent environmental interests play a role;

- Are capable of elaborating various solutions in urban planning and design for various environmental interests and weighing these against alternatives.

Education Method The environment maximisation method is one directed towards design, in which environmental themes set the structure for the design. On the basis of the brief for a neighbourhood (approximately 2000 dwellings with facilities) and the available location, a number of environmental themes are maximised in a workshop. These include: Landscape and soil; Flora and fauna; Water; Mobility; Energy; Waste. An outline of the best structure for the environment is provided on the basis of the environmental constraints in question. These sketches are then examined to see which reinforce and which contradict one another. The various maximisations are then optimised. It is also discussed which topics should be regarded as primary and which as secondary. In this way a number of variants are developed for the neighbourhood. These are used as the basis for preparing a design and for maximisation at neighbourhood and block level, with which the workshop concludes.The exercise is held in the form of a workshop during a concentrated period of one to two weeks.

Time commitment (total): 56 course load hours (approx. 18 hours contact time, approx. 38 hours individual study) Required materials: sketching materials

Assessment Assessment is based on three presentations and the end-product. The final result is a design for a district, neighbourhood and/or block with oral presentation and written commentary, capable of being understood without further explanation.
