The impulses open up pointed perspectives on examples of innovative teaching and learning projects at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, which enable interdisciplinary study on a skilful connection between teaching, research and arts.

ACADEMIC COLLABORATION | Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Koch
Interfaculty collaboration offers a variety of opportunities. At the same time, certain conditions must be present to ensure their success. Experiences from the Digital Engineering programme can serve as a jumping-off point. Impetus sketches out selected conclusions and potentials.

INVENTING THE PRESENT | Nora Gersie, Lynn Hoff, Mats Werchohlad
Complexity is increasing. Interdisciplinary is the buzzword of the moment. It is a word that says: nothing is as it used to be. Everything is in in flux. From a student’s perspective, this presentation reflects on forms of coexistence, commonalities and design possibilities that arise in these open spaces.

DIGITALITY | Prof. Dr. Matthias Maier
Media promote innovations in society, business and technology. For example, microprocessors trigger modifications that relate to the structure of the economy and the design of living environments. In creative undertakings, transdisciplinary points of contact with economics, computer science or social science are evident. Impetus sheds light on how these connections can be utilised at our university, especially during the Bauhaus.Semester.

ARTS & SCIENCE | Prof. Liz Bachhuber, Prof. Ursula Damm, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eckhard Kraft, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alexandra R. Toland
The profile of the Bauhaus University Weimar with its research-intensive and creative/artistic disciplines invites students to rethink teaching formats at the interface of art and science. Therefore, projects that repeatedly question and explore the boundaries of the different disciplines, their representative cultures and teaching methods are very promising. This round of discussions followed by a workshop will address the potential and challenges of arts & science Projects.

Blitzlicht introduces innovative teaching formats and new courses of study and offers a glimpse of the upcoming Bauhaus semester.

INTERDISCIPLINARY INTRODUCTORY COURSE | Dr. Luise Nerlich
Inspired by the classical introductory course of the historical Bauhaus, which included all of the disciplines of the time, the Building Morphology professorship proposes an introductory course for all faculties in the Bauhaus semester 2018/19. Opening the introductory course in architecture to students of urban planning has already been a source of positive experiences that inspire the development of new collaboration and collective ideas.

Workshop: Formate, Room 002

SIGNALETICS OF HEALING PLACES - DESIGN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ARCHITECTURE OF RECOVERY | Gabriel Dörner
Economic pressure and efficiency-mindedness have given rise to the streamlining of the healthcare system, which is expressed in interpersonal and spatial-design deficits. Theories on the holistic design of recovery architecture will be discussed during an interdisciplinary semester project with the help of lectures, interviews, plenary discussions and guest lecturer Workshops.

POTENTIALS OF ARCHITECTURAL TEACHING | Prof. Verena von Beckerath
Experience from an international and cross-curricular teaching research project shows the potential of long-term cooperation between teachers and students. A one-year project with seminar, excursion, design studio and final exhibition will demonstrate that course development requires a combination of structured teaching and flexible time in the curriculum.
Workshop: Öffnung, room 109

THE IMAGERY OF ARCHITECTURE | Dr. Ulrike Kuch, Dr. Claudia Tittel
This film provides insight into an interdisciplinary course that looks at buildings from both an architectural and media-science perspective. The focus is on the aspects of collaboration, which are characterised by the main focus and interests of the teacher as well as the content, the seminar format and the mix of participating students.

INTERVENTION MAKES A CITY | Selina Müller (Space Station Collective)
A project aiming at the collective development of an intervention through flat-hierarchy processes aligned along students’ own topics and impetus will be presented. The background is the grass roots democratic approach to working methods in the collective and associated creative methods in the perception and exploration of cities.

»PLATTENBAU« - THE MOST IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGY IS UNDERSTANDING | Julia Heinemann
Is it possible to convey a conceptual understanding of spatial contexts using a modular system? The film explores this question using the teaching/learning and communication tool "Plattenbau," which is based on the spatial concepts of the early Bauhaus and can be applied didactically in a variety of teaching contexts and disciplines.
Workshop: Formate, Room 002

CRITICAL VR LAB | Jörg Brinkmann
The laboratory serves as a meet-up venue for a common, artistic-critical examination of the opportunities and challenges of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
