M-ARCH-T program is taught by all the chairs of the Institute of Architecture. The mandatory core studies that were specifically developed for the program, are taught by the following chairs:
Chair for Architectural Theory
Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil Jörg H. Gleiter
The Chair for Architectural Theory focuses on the critical reflection of the theoretical foundations of architecture. It aims at the reformulation of a critical epistemology of architecture. Central to any such critical reflection is to question, affirm, or reformulate the ideas and models that underlie the material, social and cultural practices of the living environment. Thus, a particular focus is given to concepts at the core of architecture that only in a continuous process of transformation remain true to themselves.
Chair for Building Technology and Design
GP Dr. Daniel Korwan
The Chair for Building Technology and Design works on bridging the gap between architectural science and architectural design. Through a holistic multi-scalar approach we aim to provide students with a critical position towards the use of technology in their architectural work
Chair for History of Architecture and Urbanism
GP Dr. Phil. Ursula Quatember
History of architecture and urbanism explains architecture and the city in their specific historical context and is an indispensable school of thought for prospective architects. The aim is, to understand architecture and the city as the visible expression of the culture of an epoch.
Gebäudekunde und Entwerfen
GP Sandra Bartoli & GP Silvan Linden
Chair for Urban Design and Urbanization
Prof. Jörg Stollmann
The Chair for Urban Design and Urbanization is focused on socially just and climate conscious urban design for people, plants, animals, fungi and crystals. CUD research and design projects explore the complex history, current use, ecology and economy of the urban and contemporary modes of urban governance. Cooperative and community-based design processes are investigated, developed and tested in teaching, research and practice.
Chair of Visual Arts
Prof. Dr. Stefanie Bürkle
Our definition of Art goes far beyound the basic principles of design. An Artist´s approach to space is above all a particular way of thinking, perceiving and acting. At the intersection between art and architecture, the unique position as Chair of Viusal Arts within the architecture department is engaging our communication of artistic knowledge, tools and methods to the evolving architects throughout selected art and research projects.
Collaborative Design Laboratory
Prof. Dr. Ignacio Borrego
CoLab is a collaborative design laboratory that examines the transfers between design strategies and contemporary production. Collaboration and digital fabrication are involved in our teaching methodology and research activity. CoLab Berlin is part of the international network founded in Madrid in 2009, and it is based at the Architectural Representation and Design Department of the TU Berlin.
