B. Study at FA

a: Faculty of Architecture, Thákurova 9, Praha 6; t: +420 224 351 111; f: + 420 224 310 573; w: www.fa.cvut.cz

Teaching of architecture at the Czech Technical University has a long tradition. Its foundations were laid in the earliest days of the existence of the Civil Engineering School, which was founded on 18th January 1707 by the edict of Emperor Joseph I. As early as the middle of the 18th century, the teaching of architecture – conceived as a synthesis of art, science and technology – was launched in connection with the discipline of civil engineering. This period is associated with the names of prominent professors J. F. Schor (1686–1767) and F. A. Herget (1741–1800). Under Professor F. J. Gerstner (1756 –1832) the original Civil Engineering School was transformed into the Prague Polytechnic, which educated experts for domestic industry, construction and architecture. A number of outstanding architects taught at this school, such as J. Fischer, J. Zítek and J. Schulz, who designed the National Theatre, as well as other architects including A. Balšánek, J. Fanta and J. Koula which were linked to the advent of the modern style.

In 1920, two years after the foundation of independent Czechoslovakia, the school was renamed the Czech Technical University (CTU). The college of architecture and civil engineering became one of seven CTU colleges. Leading professors included J. Kříženecký, A. Engel, A. Mendel, A. Ausobský, R. Kukač, O. Blažíček, S. Ondřej, O. Stefan and V. Krch. During the German occupation (1939–1945) all Czech universities were closed. Following the war teaching continued at the College of Architecture and Civil Engineering (from 1950 called Faculty), when in 1960 the Faculty of Construction with a Study Focus on Architecture was created. In 1976 the independent Faculty of Architecture with two fields of study was established: -Architecture and -Urbanism and Urban Planning. The Civil Engineering field of study remained under the Faculty of Construction. This division led over the years to a marked separation of these two closely related fields.

1. History


Following the Velvet Revolution in 1989 further major changes were implemented, both in the organisation and structure of the studies, in line with the new 1991 Act on Higher Education Institutions. Professional organisations - the Civic Forum of Architects, the Community of Architects and later also the Czech Chamber of Architects - helped to initiate these changes that were influenced by transformations of the architectural practice into the free market environment. Many architects who had suffered from political discrimination started teaching at the school, and many Czechs architects working abroad got involved in the education process aswell. In addition, the younger generation of Czech architects contributed to the shaping of new conditions aswell.

A fundamental change in the system of tuition took place; the hitherto system of typological division of departments was replaced by a looser system based on a combination of knowledge-based education and design-based “vertical studios” led by experienced practitioners.

The development of this new model of education continued after the Czech Republic’s accession to the European Union in 2004 and the fresh modifications to the Act on Higher Education Institutions. Only the six-year continuous study program was replaced by a Bologna agreement based two-phase program divided into bachelor (three-year) and master (two-year) levels that conclude with state exams and the defence of the thesis. The relatively automatic continuation from one phase of study to the next was gradually abandoned, with stricter selection that boost the quality of students in the master level phase.

The Faculty of Architecture’s long-term objectives include the addition of related programs and fields of study. In 2009, the Design study program with the Industrial Design field were opened, while in 2015 the Landscape Architecture study program with the Landscape Architecture field was launched. Modules as specialisations in other fields (spatial planning, heritage protection, city development, digital computing) have been created or are considered. In the doctoral study programs further development will be based on a closer connection between architectural creation and academic and pedagogic work. The structure of the current four-year doctoral study programs will also undergo fundamental change in the next years. The Faculty of Architecture is open to foreign students through its full-time master and doctoral courses accredited in English or through its many student longterm exchanges under the ERASMUS+ program or the bilateral agreements with universities outside Europe. Cooperation of our students, teachers and researchers with foreign schools is expanding, both in teaching and research. This is facilitated by the faculty’s membership in international organisations of architecture and urban studies schools and by the direct international personal contacts of teachers.

[ 16 ]

In 2011, the Faculty of Architecture relocated to the CTU’s New Building at the Prague 6 - Dejvice university campus, thus acquiring infinitely superior conditions for its development. The new environment also provides the preconditions for the faculty s̀ further substantial development, growth of teaching standards, as well as of the becoming an academic and professional platform within the context of CTU as the largest Czech technical university, as well as within the arena of Czech architecture and urban studies, landscape architecture and 21st century design.

On the basis of Act No. 111/1998 Coll. on Higher Education Institutions, the Faculty of Architecture runs six study programs in Czech at the Bachelor and Master levels and two study programs in English at the Master level. Master study programs in English are tuition fee-paying.

The Master study program Architecture and Urbanism has been recognized by the EU and included in Annex 5 to the Directive on the recognition of professional qualifications as it meets the requirements for the education of architects defined by Council Directives 85/384/EEC and 2005/36/EC. Thanks to this, graduates may apply for registration in EU countries, and therefore implement their work abroad without having to provide proof of the scope of their studies or knowledge in the field.

The university education of architects and designers is centred on developing their creative abilities, enabling them to find new paths or paths to possible specialisation in the field. Teaching at the Faculty of Architecture is governed by the endeavour to not only provide students with specialist knowledge but also a picture of the contemporary world with all the contexts and points of departure that influence contemporary architectural and design work. The programs are focused on providing students with essential knowledge spanning the whole of the field and placed in an interdisciplinary context, knowledge that corresponds to the demands of the work of an architect or designer and that will be fully applicable in their professional careers.

One of the fundamental principles of study programs at the Faculty of Architecture is a balance between compulsory and compulsorily elective humanities, theoretical, technical and artistic subjects and above all a major proportion of design studio education. In this regard the programs are fully comparable and compatible with those of other European architecture schools.

2. Nature of Studies


On the basis of Act No. 111/1998 Coll. on Higher Education Institutions, the Faculty of Architecture runs two Doctoral study programs in English in five specialised fields for selected graduates of the Master programs. Doctoral study programs in English are fee-paying.

As the highest level of education, doctoral studies are primarily intended for students who wish to concentrate on academic and research work. Aspirants apply, in competition form, for the thematic areas of doctoral study published on the faculty’s website at the announcement of the selection procedure. Their level of knowledge, preparedness and facility for creative academic work is evaluated by an admissions committee appointed by the dean. Study is either full-time or combined-time form. Full-time study takes four years, with the program divided across eight semesters, including the defence of the thesis (dissertation).

Full-time doctoral students play a role in the institution’s teaching and are entitled to six weeks of holiday in the calendar year. Studies take place on the basis of an individual plan under the guidance of a supervisor. The doctoral students are assessed every semester and their progress to the following year is based on the results of their studies.

The traditional reference library of the Institute of Theory and History of Architecture and the Department of Monument Care is specialized in literature on the history of architecture and art. It is primarily built on the libraries of the precursors of the relevant FA departments (originally founded by Prof. Josef Zítek and considerably expanded by Prof. Oldřich Stefan). The collection is regularly and systematically updated in line with the teaching conception of departments 15113 and 15114. The library contains a number of noteworthy and very rare titles, including unique volumes of the work of the architect Viollet-le-Duc. At present the library offers leading domestic and international specialist periodicals, as well as a whole range of new publications with contemporary and historical themes. Documentary films about architecture represent a new addition to the collection. It is a reference only library. Information about the contents of the library and new acquisitions is regularly updated on the faculty’s website.

A bilingual FA Yearbook in which the individual departments and studios publish the results of their work is put together every year.

B. English Program Study Plans

This study plan details the requirements for the enrolling in subjects and for meeting the requirements for completion of study programs. The study plan provides a recommended order of subjects. The monitored period of study is an academic year. The study is always checked before the start of the new academic year.

In each semester, the student is required to enrol in subjects that are equivalent to at least 20 credits. The recommended amount with regard to the regular length of study is 30 credits.

ENROLMENT INTO COURSES

Enrolment is carried out (with the exception of Studio subjects) electronically in the KOS component. Students can enrol in subjects in a different order than the one provided in the recommended study plans; however, they are obliged to respect the compulsory order of some subjects.

Students can enrol in pre-approved workshops as elective subjects, equivalent to 2 credits; in total, a student can enrol in 3 workshops in the master‘s study program.

INFORMATION ON THE MASTER‘S ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM STUDY PROGRAM IN ENGLISH |MAG_AU_EN|

This study plan is valid for the 2019/2020 academic year for all students in the study program Architecture and Urbanism in the English language at CTU FA.

Students enrol in the subject Studio (ATS1, ATU, ATVZ, ATV, ATRN) on the dates stipulated in the time schedule of the academic year. The assignment of individual studios is published on the FA website before the start of each semester. Only an authorised person at the relevant department can enrol students in the KOS component. During the course of both bachelor‘s and master‘s studies students must attend at least two different design studios.

If a student does not earn a graded credit after the first enrolment in a subject, they have to enrol in the subjects Basics of Architectural Design, Studio (ATS1, ATU, ATVZ, ATV, ATRN) again in the same design studio.Credits for elective courses can also be obtained by completing courses


in the study program Design (CTU FA) or Landscape Architecture (CTU FA), completing a similar course at a foreign university (following approval by the FA Study Department), or by completing an approved workshop included in the relevant study program.

The quality of studio teaching at the FA has been monitored in recent years by regular evaluation committees composed of faculty teachers and external experts.

Studio training takes place in vertical studios, where students have the opportunity to work together on assignments provided by the head of studio and for which students apply based on their choice, and following agreement with the head of the studio. Mutual cooperation, work on similar topics and the manner of communication with the studio management are considered the main advantages of this working method. There are usually two joint presentations during the course of the semester and at the end of the semester final project presentations and the central exhibition of projects of all studios are held.

DEFINITION OF STUDIO TRAINING

The principles of architectural design are studied and practised on a wide range of building structures: new developments as well as urban renewal and reconstruction. Studios at this level are enriched by studios focusing on topics such as sustainable design, contemporary technologies, interior architecture and preservation. Students are offered a choice of semester assignments either for individual or group elaboration. The advanced urban design studio works on a development and/or urban regeneration project for a part of a town or a city. Students are required to work out an urban analysis (survey), draft programs with variants and decide on a final urban design. Most studio assignments have real-life clients from the planning departments of municipalities.

Studio assignments in all semesters of the master‘s study program require continuous participation in consultations and presentations. The coursework includes an analysis of the selected site/area, solution of its wider relations, or possibly also a search of completed similar projects. All details about the course of the semester and submission are specified in the assignment of


the studio work. Evaluation criteria include participation in consultations and presentations, demonstration of the acquired knowledge and the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in the field of architectural design, from conception to the student‘s own design to its presentation, in both written and oral form. In recent years, the quality of studios at the FA has been monitored through regular evaluations by committees composed of faculty teachers and outside experts.

DESIGN STUDIO – BUILDING COMPLEX – ATS1|Compulsory; 7. sem.; 0+8; Graded Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

The aim is to acquaint the student of the master‘s program with the problems of the demanding construction complex and practical use of basic terms from the typology of civil, industrial, or agricultural buildings. The assignment may have a well-defined program or the task may be formulated as a search for the potential of the specified parcel. The result of the work is a design of a set of buildings or structures with a typologically specific and complex or multifunctional program, including the link to a specific site.

DESIGN STUDIO – URBAN DESIGN – ATU|Compulsory; 8. sem.; 0+8; Graded Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

The goal of the course unit is for the student to acquire the ability to elaborate a project involving the problems of urban design on various scales, through the practical use of knowledge and basic concepts acquired in urban subjects of study. In the analytical phase of the work the student works with information about the territory. This deals with the wider relationships involved, the physical space and its perception, use of objects and areas, flows of people, materials and energies. The output is a problem map - a depiction of constraints and potentials. In the conceptual phase, the student creates a vision - use, spatial structure and granularity of the space in question - documented by a working model. The design phase solves the position of the area in the context of the city or region, floor plans indicating spatial arrangement and use, general sections or elevation views illuminating the height solution (usually on a scale up to two more detailed than floor plans), visualisation of the whole axonometry), several visualisations of the main public spaces usually from the normal horizon, transport solutions including pedestrian and public transport and traffic at rest and, a design implementation procedure - diagrams of individual phases. An integral part of the work is a text explaining the design principles. A final model is recommended.

[ 79 ]

DESIGN STUDIO – INDEPENDENT STUDY – ATVZ|Compulsory; 9. sem.; 0+8; Graded Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

For the Independent Study Studio it is possible to process assignments from any of the authorised specialisations acknowledged by the Chamber of Architects: architecture, urbanism and spatial planning or landscape architecture.

DESIGN STUDIO - COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT – ATRN|Compulsory; 9. sem.; 0+8; Graded Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

The studio can be processed only in the following variant: ATRN variant 1 / construction project: The aim of the course unit is to acquaint the student with the problems of project design. Based on their own architectural design developed within the previous studios, students work on the project at the level of documentation for the construction.The project is processed in a spiral, where each problem has to be verified several times, always at a higher level of knowledge of context and details. Occasionally, the underlying assumptions prove unsustainable and need to be reassessed. Construction must always be feasible. Architectural design and technical solutions are continuous vessels. Any change caused by other technical solutions must be made with respect to the architectural concept of the design and the same applies the other way round. In addition to consultations with the head of the studio, expert consultations are carried out by designated employees of technical departments (15122, 15123 and 15124) within the scope of the assignment, which determines the prescribed content of ATRN. This assignment is given to students at the start of their work.

DESIGN STUDIO – REQUISITE OPTIONAL – ATV|Elective; 8. sem.; 0+4; Graded Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

The assignment can be processed into tasks from the currently offered topics of the obligatory studios in the relevant semester. In addition to the topics specified in the compulsory studios, ATV allows a wider choice of tasks such as conceptual studio, art studio, industrial design studio, furniture or exhibition design studio, interior design studio, BIM studio or ATRN follow-up studio, spatial and strategic planning studio or studio landscape architecture. In the framework of ATV it is also possible to solve surveys for urban design studio or as a historical building survey for studio assignments in the PP module. The assignment of ATV can also be determined individually, by agreement with the head of the studio, according to the specific interest of the student.


DESIGN STUDIO – DIPLOMA SEMINAR – DS |Elective; 9. sem.; 0+2; Graded Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

The diploma seminar represents the initial step leading to the diploma project, which is elaborated in the following semester. The purpose of the diploma seminar is to analyse the wider scope of the topic on which the award of the diploma thesis will be based. By working on the diploma seminar the student will be able to gain insight into professional issues connected with his or her future diploma project in the form of a research project, within which the diploma thesis will be developed. The diploma seminar precedes the diploma project and can be processed in the following variants:• Analysis of the territory of the future diploma project - in which case the student should not be acquainted with the specific program of the diploma project.• Search for the program and typology of the future diploma project - in which case the student should not know the specific place of the diploma project.• Optional other variants are possible in agreement with the studio tutor and the dean approval.

DESIGN STUDIO – DIPLOMA PROJECT – DP1|Compulsory; 10. sem.; 0+20; Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

The diploma project is the final work which shows the ability of the student to cope independently and comprehensively with an assignment, from its initial conception, through its design and its presentation. The assignment may be from the domains of architecture, urbanism or landscape architecture. The diploma project examines the theoretical knowledge base of the student, ability to analyse complex problems, to produce high quality design solutions, and demonstrate the ability to present them comprehensively. The result of the diploma project is presented in a recommended A3 portfolio, which contains drawings, diagrams and a theoretical text written by the student. Often the assignment specifies that the diploma project should be supported by a 3D model. Exhibition posters are printed for the purpose of exhibiting the diploma project in accordance with the rules laid down by the dean. It is also possible to receive a theoretical assignment as a diploma project. In this case, it is necessary to follow scientific work standards in terms of the content, sources, method and form.

Detailed information about the course and the required outcomes are provided in Dean’s Directive SZZ and in other documents published on the faculty’s website in the given semester.

[ 81 ]

Students apply in vertical studios based on their choice, following agreement with the head of the studio. The Design studios teach students how to combine the aesthetic aspect of their work with the functional, structural and technological features of the product. The study is focused on the creation of industrially manufactured products. In accordance with the professional focus of the heads of studios, the studios’ focus is on product design, transport design or interior design. IMPORTANT

The following Design Studio is intended ONLY for students of the Design program - field of study: Design.

DEFINITION OF STUDIO TRAINING A subject taught in the form of atelier teaching offers students the chance to further develop their own creative skills by applying them to another specific thematic assignment from the studio manager in the form of a design of a more complex product, subject or spatial unit. The design must already include a synthesis of functional artistic and technical components that will give the final design a value for design work. The subject is elaborated for the whole semester, which results in the work of the studio semester project, which is publicly presented at the end of the semester within the Faculty of Architecture. Five studios with various approaches to design are offered: industrial design, product design, product and furniture, interior design and, experimental design (new media & interaction). All stages of design projects are dealt with: research, definition of design problem, ideation through sketches and models, realisation of final prototype, presentation. Within a studio or “atelier,“ students of different years can collaborate.

[ 83 ]

DESIGN STUDIO – DIPLOMA SEMINAR D– DSD|Compulsory; 9. sem.; 0+2; Graded Assessment; MAG_D_EN|

The diploma seminar represents the initial step before the beginning of the diploma thesis, which follows in the next semester of study. The purpose of the diploma seminar is to analyse the wider scope of the topic on which the awarding of the diploma thesis will be based. In this way, the student will be able to gain insight into the professional issues in the form of his own research, within which the diploma thesis will be developed. DESIGN STUDIO – DIPLOMA PROJECT D – DPD|Compulsory; 10. sem.; 0+20; Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

Goals of the course unit. The course ends with the master‘s degree program Design in the form of an independent diploma project, in which the student must demonstrate complex design skills including a separate approach to the creation, the search for relevant materials and literature and the ability to analyse the topic of the diploma thesis with his or her own proposal, including its defense, practical design work subsequently applicable in practice. The subject of the diploma thesis can be the design of industrial and consumer products, design of furniture for interiors or furniture for outdoor public spaces, design of construction products or elements of small architecture, design of transport means or machines and equipment, design of interior space, exhibition or scene. At the end of the semester the diploma thesis is presented and defended by the student before a professional commission. The result is a complex design combining the requirements for the functional, visual and technical characteristics of the designed work, the design in question must be able to be realised in practice.

ART PRACTICE VI / 15111|Elective; 7. sem.; 0+2; Graded Assessment; MAG_D_EN|

course teacher: MgA. Tereza Melenová

The aim of the course is to develop students‘ skills and knowledge in the field of working with new technologies. Students will be able to test video, mapping, lighting and sound design, projections and other technologies in order to create a suitable presentation environment or to create the desired presentation atmosphere. Interactive narrative systems, new possibilities and models. E-culture in network, wired, wi-fi and other environments. BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT II / 15124 |Compulsory; 7. sem.; 2+1; Assessment+Exam; MAG_AU_EN|

course teacher: Ing. Radka Pernicová, Ph.D.

The aim of the lectures is preparation of the future architect for his role as a project designer and manager starting from the building investment program up to the operational stage. One of the lecture´s points of view is the impact of architectural and structural design in its building technology and implementation stages. Another perspective shows the opposite process - the impact of a particular building technology and staging upon architectural and structural design.

2. Specification of courses


TYPE is the fundamental compositional element of the built-up environment: the most effective and comprehensible answer to a common task and situation. At the same time, it is important to understand that every assignment and place in space and time contains the potential for a certain degree of uniqueness. To bring forth this potential means not only to optimise the design in practical terms, but also to allow for the better orientation of the user. Varying types is thus not only the most effective designing method, but it also results in the overall comprehensibility of the built-up environment: TYPE IS COOL! The aim of the course is to learn how to design an environment which is effective, understandable and yet stimulating through the appropriate use of the TYPICAL and ATYPICAL. The course consists of a series of six lectures and six seminars coming in fortnight pairs touching on different themes connected to systematisation of the built-up environment.

DESIGN COMPUTING II – ARCHITECTURE / 15116 |Elective; 8. sem.; 1+1; Graded Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

course teacher: prof. Dr.-Ir. Henri Achten, Ph.D.

In this course, contemporary architecture is studied through the lens of computational methods. It shows how, in the past 30 years, the relationship between architecture, theory, materials, and computation has been transformed. Principles of parametric design, performative design, and generative design are presented and discussed in-depth through cases studies of key buildings and architects. Special attention is devoted to interactive architecture. A number of contemporary key issues in architectural theory are brought up in relation to computational approaches. Practical application in this course is tested through Arduino prototyping. Arduino enables the creation of interactive structures using sensors, controllers, and the Processing programming language. By creating a number of interactive applications, students will learn the basic technological principles of

[ 89 ]

interactive architecture. Keywords - contemporary design methodology, advanced parametric design, rapid prototyping, AI, robotics, automation, simulation, analysis, optimization, CAD / CAM, data mining, advanced data processing. DESIGN COMPUTING III – GEOMETRY / 15122 |Elective; 9. sem.; 1+1; Graded Assessment; MAG_AU_EN|

course leader: doc. Dr. Ing. Martin Pospíšil, Ph.D. course teacher: RNDr. Jiří Šrubař, Ph.D., Ing. arch. Lukáš Kurilla, Ph.D.

Architectural modelling can no longer be done without computational geometry, which simplifies 3D work and speeds up design procedures. Whether traditional “handmade” design or sophisticated generational design, they rely on the capabilities that contemporary CAAD modelling software brings. Understanding the geometric principles and procedures in this environment gives architects the freedom to create. In addition, a well-educated architect gains the opportunity to streamline his or her work and eventually reuse existing problems through a parametric approach to modelling. In this way, multiple design options can be tested. Thanks to the generative model, various types of optimisation can be applied within the design - it can be anything from the level of sunshine of all residential spaces, to the sag in the structure to any area and volume ratios. Thanks to multi-criteria optimisation, solutions can be found which, moreover, fulfil several such criteria at the same time. In this course, practical applications are tested using Grasshopper (which works with Rhinoceros modeling software) and Dynamo (based on Revit software). Keywords - advanced geometry in architecture, mathematically described geometric objects, use of scripting ECOLOGY II / 15121 |Compulsory; 8. sem.; 2+0; Graded Assessment; MAG_AU_EN| |Elective; 8. sem.; 2+0, Graded Assessment; MAG_D_EN|
