Course content
The course offers the student the opportunity to independently choose the theme of their architectural or urban project in collaboration with a supervisor from one of the architectural departments. The project work must be architecture and / or urbanism. The supervisor must be associate professor or professor and preferably the same for both the combined courses. The student must make an agreement with the supervisor well in advance and formulate a description of the assignment / learning activities in the Self-programmed Design Course as well as in the associated Self-programmed Knowledge Course AAR4900. (If the student chooses AAR4209 as their knowledge course instead of AAR4900, description is only needed for AAR4600.) The description must also contain an overview of course materiel, a timetable, the planned frequency of individual guidance and a preliminary overview of the works that will be submitted for examination. If the student enters into cooperation with external parties in the course, such as execution of a real design brief, a written agreement with the external party that ensures academic independence must be included in the description. There is no opportunity to receive fees for work done in the course. The supervisor must sign the description and approve that it is in accordance with the Learning Outcomes of the course. The student must send the approved and signed description to the faculty no later than two weeks before the application deadline for course registration. The supervisor must organize the examination in the same semester.
