About

The Institute of Construction and Design Principles (KOEN) introduces the many facets of architecture through a number of construction-oriented as well as design subjects. The integration of the two main courses Construction and Design within one department emphasizes their tight interrelationship. Throughout the first year the course focuses on the essentials, with the goal of teaching a basic understanding of architecture, three dimensional space, and the contextual connections in the built environment. We ask the primary questions Why and How. In addition, the students are given tools with which to further develop and communicate their ideas. These include sketches, technical drawing (by hand and computer), layouts, and model making, as well as verbal and written presentations. Together with the sketching, the model making reflects one of our main concerns: understanding the making of architecture as a process.
