The module consists of a lecture and an exercise. In the lecture, important building materials and their properties, potentials, and limitations, as well as their main applications in landscape architecture, are introduced. In the exercise, the building materials and construction methods are discussed in terms of technical suitability, sustainability, and design quality, and construction details are applied in different spatial situations and contexts. The method is derived from the approach of "reverse engineering," meaning that students reconstruct an execution plan based on real projects, which they measure and inspect on-site. This connects a concrete spatial and material experience with the creation of abstract, technical-construction drawings.

The exercise simulates the drafting of an execution plan and the preparation of a bill of quantities in an office setting, using real-built places in Freising or nearby locations. Up to two field trips may be made to these places to create measurements. The execution plans created are based on the basic services of HOAI Service Phase Five, i.e., graphic representation of the object with all the necessary details for execution, such as final, complete execution, detail, and construction drawings at a scale of 1:50 to 1:1; for open spaces, depending on the type of construction project, at a scale of 1:200 to 1:50, particularly planting plans, with the required written descriptions and bills of quantities.

To participate, please register for both the lecture and the exercise on TUMonline.
