Faculty of Architecture

International Competitiveness The systematic internationalisation is one of the strategic development goals of the TUM Faculty of Architecture, which was founded in 1868. The Faculty of Architecture is looking to establish privileged partnerships with otherinternational universities, who have a similar spectrum of courses and content. The European and global network is constantly growing and in light of this development education should incre-asingly be seen in an international context. There is a growing demand within the job market for internationally qualified academics. Thus, students with qualifications with an international outlook will have a noticeable advantage in the job market.

When choosing a location to study, the internationalisation of a programme is more and more factored into the decisi-on, and influences the attractiveness of a location. The Faculty of Architecture would thus like to extend its competitiveness beyond the borders of Germany to the international field.

Munich as a Place to Study Technology, talent and tolerance define the attractiveness of a city – but also a city`s productivity and wealth. The city of Munich with its 1,3 million inhabitants is one of the leading cities in this respect, both in terms of the estab-lishment of technology intensive companies, the number of patents as well as the number of people working in the creative industry or at universities. Munich is also the home of several architecture and design companies. Munich is located on the river Isar north of the Bavarian Alps and is the third largest city in Germany. The Herald Tribune voted Munich the “most liveable city in the world: A winning combination of investment in infrastructure, high-quality housing, low crime, liberal politics, strong media and general feeling of Gemütlichkeit make it a city that should inspire others.”

Technische Universität München Since its inception in 1868, TUM has established its re-putation as a foremost academic institution with 6 Nobel prizes and many other prestigious awards, making it repeatedly the number one German university in various rankings, including the most recent ones. Our universi-ty covers a large spectrum of fundamental and applied research with studies ranging from engineering, natural sciences, including life and medical sciences, to econo-mics. Today TUM comprises 13 faculties with more than 25,000 students (about 20 percent of whom come from abroad), 460 professors, and roughly 6,500 academic and non-academic staff. TUM is thus well positioned to create new knowledge and know-how.

The University of Excellence In 2005 the federal and state governments started the socalled Excellence Initiative in Germany. Between 2006 and 2011 they will fund the expansion of top universi-ty research with up to 1.9 billion Euros in three funding categories: graduate schools, clusters of excellence and institutional strategies for universities. TUM was recog-nized as one of the first three universities that succeeded in all three categories.

Study Programmes Beside a 4-year Bachelor of Arts and a 2-year Master of Arts programme in architecture the Faculty also offers a separate course in Restoration, Art Technology and Con-servation Science. This trains restaurateurs to combine artistic sensitivity with scientific competence and skilled craftsmanship.

The Bachelor‘s and Master‘s courses in Landscape Architecture in Weihenstephan and Munich are regar-ded as two of the leading authorities in this field in the German-speaking part of the world. The study program-me focuses on the aesthetic, ecological and social de-velopment and layout of urban open spaces and cultural landscapes. As a scientific/artistic course of studies, it combines research and design. Key topics include public urban open spaces, suburban or ‚urban fringe‘ lands-capes and industrial landscapes.

The Master‘s degree course and research alliance ClimaDesign, together with the new, innovative Façade Engineering - Technology and Design teaching and re-search unit show that the technical relevance of TUM is a core aspect. The ClimaDesigners are in a position to play a long-term, active role in the entire planning process and to provide holistic consultation services, starting with the conceptual phase and lasting right through to the detailed optimization of a building.

The course in Industrial Design, which works hand-in-hand with UnternehmerTUM, the leading European centre for entrepreneurship, enables teams of students to de-velop sustainable products or services for new business start-ups. The main focus is on universal design and the challenges of an ecologically justifiable mass production. It is the first academic course in Design at a German university of technology that leads on to a doctorate.

Current tuition fees for full-time students at TUM are €500 per semester. TUM has agreements with partner universities that no tuition fees will be charged by recei-ving university.

Bachelor and Master of Arts in Architecture TUM

As part of the Bologna Process all universities in Europe are currently switching to Bachelor and Master degrees based on the idea that academic qualifications will then become more comparable.

The Faculty of Architecture TUM has established a bache-lor degree of 4 years duration followed by several diffe-rent Master degrees of 2 years duration. The academic qualification will be a Bachelor and Master of Arts (equal to Dipl.-Ing.) in Architecture.

The course in architecture at the TUM conveys basic knowledge of skills and techniques, that are quintessential to the field of activities of architects. At the same time the study programme sees itself as an instrument to develop the students‘ skills to comprehend fundamental and com-plex problems, to extend these questions and methods of resolution from other disciplines. In more concrete terms, students should be qualified to identify problems within their own discipline as well as within the multidisciplinary environment of the TUM, to analyse these and provide so-lutions, to use a clear scientific approach and to commu-nicate the results of their work convincingly.

Through the collaboration of the four institutes of the Faculty of Architecture TUM students are instructed using a holistic approach in dealing with complex systems, star-ting from the theoretical concept and its cultural back-ground, the allocation and dimensions of technical and

spatial components, up to usability and appearance of the technical object ‘building’. The management of energy resources of buildings, the extent to which the building can be recycled as well as the development and design of building components and systems are growing fields of work in the building process. On societal as well as urban and regional planning levels, questions of sustainability are successively expanded beyond the building through important future topics such as climate, mobility and energy cycles.

The principle of the study programme is teaching guided by research. With responsibility for the built environment, students should be qualified to act in an entrepreneurial way and to resume leading positions in planning proces-ses.

In order to provide students with the necessary qualifica-tion to become actors in future international markets, an integrated one year study abroad at one of our partner universities across the world is a mandatory part of the bachelor programme.

Work Environment Students benefit from a professional work environment in Munich’s city centre. Friendly student service and intensi-ve mentoring during projects are an important foundation of the programme. The teaching and research facilities of the Faculty, which also include the studios, are spread over an area of 11.600 sqm. Several work stations are also provided by the Faculty. The Technical Centre provides direct access to the metal, wood and plastic workshops for model-making and pro-totypes including 3D printers and laser cutters. Additional work and research stations are provided, for instance, through the Digital Design-laboratory, solar station, fire control lab, climate laboratory, restoration lab or foto labs. All toois and computers required for successful studies are available for lending at the service-pool.

Each year the Faculty of Architecture welcomes its fresh-man students in the studio “Weißer Saal” which offers a great view of the Alps.

Bachelor Degree Programme - Description

The bachelor programme in architecture is a 4 year full-time degree. The first 2 years (4 semesters) provide a general foundation in the methodology of architectural design as well as in the disciplines of science & technolo-gy and humanities & social sciences. These subjects are largely compulsory.

The core subjects of design, urbanism, construction, his-tory and theory, visual arts, CAAD amongst others will be taught in 20 contact hours per semester. Design plays a very central role which is expressed through project work (6 contact hours) coupled with a design charette. This project block is in turn supported by thematically related lectures and seminars.

As a general rule, students in their third year will study abroad for 1 academic year at one of TUM’s partner uni-versities. The International Relations Team of the Faculty of Architecture will advise and assist the students in their choice of partner university. In order not to overburden students during their study abroad, they are required to participate in courses giving them a minimum of 20 credit points in total. Each partnership with a university is

based on an agreement which specifies the number of exchange students and the possible duration of their stay. The study curricula of each of the partners will also be coordinated with the study programme of the Faculty of Architecture TUM.

In year 4 of the bachelor programme the acquired know-ledge will be deepened and widened. In the 7th semester students will be able to choose at which chair they would like to complete their final project, as the different chairs will be focusing on different topics. The remaining sub-jects are comprised of compulsory core electives, which will allow students a certain personal specialisation. In the final semester students will have to complete their ba-chelor thesis which is followed by an oral examination. With this four year bachelor degree the students are allowed to apply to register with the Chamber of Architects.

Research & Development

With about 130 ongoing doctoral theses and more than 100 research projects during the last three years the Faculty of Architecture is strong in research.

Through application-oriented research at the chair for Climatic Design and Building Services, the Faculty of Architecture has developed the concept of ClimaDesign. This holistic approach coordinates a building’s structure, its façade and building services engineering. Research areas include energy-optimised planning and building, façade planning, innovative ventilation engineering, fire protection and lighting systems.

The technical and constructional development of shells is of great importance for a building’s energy balance. The Faculty of Architecture is therefore establishing a new research unit in Technology and Design for Shell Cons-tructions. The unit fits well into the long tradition of buil-ding technology research by TUM Emeritus of Excellence Prof. Dr. Thomas Herzog. Holistic planning begins on a social and municipal level. The seven chairs for urbanism at TUM run the affiliated research group ‘urban land scape‘ on Zwischenstadt, urban landscapes and agglomeration research.

The newly established chair for Industrial Design deals with ecological challenges of mass production. The focus on universal design explores processes of demographic changes within our societies.

The teaching and research unit for Timber Construction analyses renewable resources and composite materials for integrating them into the design process in coopera-tion with the strong bavarian timber industry and TUM faculties of engineering.

Since 2009, the new independent Oskar von Miller Forum additionally supports activities of the Faculty by providing a guest house and event venue. In 2010, the TUM established a strongly equipped pro-fessorship and Competence Centre for Energy-efficient and Sustainable Planning and Building, co-funded by the Bavarian Construction Association.

Further research fields • Architecture history and intermediation of architecture at the Architekturmuseum of TUM • Preservation of historical buildings• Robot oriented design in construction• History and theory of landscape architecture• Art restoration and conservation sciences• Structural design research • Research cooperations with housing companies and the local aviation and automotive industry, as well as links to other faculties and international partners.

By doing so, it not only rises up to the increasingly complex research challenges of today but also reflects the changing trends in the labor markets.

Through a wide range of interdisciplinary advanced training courses and general services, the TUM Graduate School and its Graduate Centers encourage networ-king amongst doctoral candidates. Besides the obvious benefits for the doctoral candidates, the TUM Graduate School also serves to integrate the faculties more cohe-sively into international networks whilst simultaneously generating extra revenue for the postgraduate training programs.

TUM ForTe - Office for Research & Innovation

Third party funding by the European Union and from na-tional organisations is vitally important for many fields of science. Without them, many reseach projects at univer-sities would not be possible. The TUM is right at the top in raising third party funds in Germany, which is shown in several rankings, e.g. the DFG ranking for funds.In many fields, fundamental research at the TUM leads straight to applied research, often in cooperation with business companies. Properiety rights and patents play an important role in this.

The TUM ForTe – Office for Research and Innovation advises researches professionally and comprehensively in matters of national and international research funding and transfer of technology.TUM ForTe also harbours the staff unit Excellence Initia-tive, which is responsible for the implementation of the 3. funding line, and the coordination with the 1. funding line (Graduate Schools) and the 2. funding line (Clusters of Excellence). It also coordinates the proposals for the next round of the Excellence Initiative.
