While the function of a building may change over time, its architecture remains. In lessons, EAST (Elementary Architecture and Studies of Types) examines the aspects of construction that determine the use, morphology, and spatial structure of buildings. The history and change of these aspects serve as a basis for analyzing the design of new buildings as well as for reusing and transforming existing buildings. Urban settlements are thus a laboratory for architectural ideas, which are further developed using the technical means and spatial concepts of our time. The joint project work in the studio space facilitates a continuous discussion of different design approaches and helps the students to develop their own ideas.
