Students should develop a fundamental understanding of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and their application in architecture and urban planning. They will learn to analyze spatial information using digital tools, prepare it visually, and integrate it into architectural representation processes.
1. Introduction to GIS
- Knowledge: Students understand basic concepts of geodata, georeferencing, scale, projections, and data formats (vector/raster).
- Understanding: They can explain the relevance of GIS in architecture, urban planning, and design.
- Skills: They are able to interpret simple spatial data and identify its potential for design and analysis.
2. Exercises with the Open-Source Tool QGIS
- Knowledge: Students understand the structure and user interface of QGIS.
- Skills:
- Loading, structuring, and combining geodata (Shapefiles, GeoJSON, raster data).
- Applying basic tools (selections, filters, attribute tables, simple analyses).
- Creating and editing custom layers.
- Competency: Students can use QGIS as a practical tool for architectural and planning questions.
3. Visualizing Information (OpenStreetMap, OGC Services, Vector and Raster Sources)
- Knowledge: Understanding differences between open data sources (e.g., OSM, WMS, WFS)
- Skills:
- Import and use of OSM data and OGC services.
- Visual design through symbology, color schemes, layer representation.
- Critical reflection on data quality and currency.
- Competency: Students develop their own visualizations that present spatial information appropriately for target audiences.
4. Workflows for Creating Information-Based Plan Data
- Knowledge: Principles of data-based plan creation (analysis – selection – generalization – layout).
- Skills:
- Combining multiple data sources into custom plan representations.
- Using attribute information for thematic maps (e.g., density, land use, topography).
- Developing reproducible workflows (processing tools, project structures).
- Competency: Ability to systematically transfer data sources into design and planning representations.
5. Publication in Print and Digital Media
- Knowledge: Understanding requirements for print layouts and digital publication formats.
- Skills:
- Creating cartographically well-structured plans with scale, legend, north arrow, source citations.
- Export to appropriate formats (PDF, PNG, GeoTIFF, interactive maps).
- Competency: Students can professionally prepare GIS results for design, presentation, and communication.
