It is held by dialog between teacher and student about project in process. Topically they correspond with content of one of five modules. (M1 – City architecture, M2 – Public buildings, M3 – Architecture of technical civilisation, M4 – Architectonic creation in historical environment, M5 – post-industrial city…).

post-industrial city /or urbanized country/ by self work on chosen topic in the form of urbanistic composition /essay, treatise/. Also to choose main problems concerning the assignment, determine theoretical alternative openings for own concept of spatial and functional arrangement by study of theoretical data and comparable examples along with evaluation of researches. To process chosen solution in matching graphical and digital form with supportive argumentation for defending the proposal. Convincing form of presentation.

Syllabus

The semester is divided into three parts defined by pursuance of critical discussions about project in process and finished in final phase. All students attend these critiques and all studio teachers and there are two fundaments of it: firstly it is the control of fulfilment of predefined tasks in certain term, secondly it is exchange of opinions about solution ways of given task in wider collective and from this emerging corrections of work process. The critiques are evaluated by teachers with points and they have fundamental influence on final classification.
The dissertation work is then tied up with previous work by individual assignment. This progress of work is approximate and the teachers (prof. doc. and external teachers) can amend the assignment and work procedure according to the needs of given task and their pedagogical ideas.
