Wahr-Nehmen Spaziergang in die Sinne

Our project is to combine forms of analog mediation with digital mediation. The digital platform is Conceptboard. As an interface to analog forms of representation, there is also a foldable booklet in paper format with QR codes. The goal is to expand the ordinary horizon of perception through this learning object.

There are three boards that are linked together: Perceiving Walk into the Senses as the main entrance, Texts and images and walking with sound. A walk into the senses describes a walk, both physically and mentally, that leads into the human senses and many of the exercises for conscious perception are collected as content: Hearing, seeing and more - with links to audio-visual examples, also instructions and texts. In this way, possibilities are offered at different levels to explore forms of perception actively and playfully with the reading of texts and exercises.

Virtuelles Mechanik-Labor

As part of the research project "Lernraum.Bauhaus - Lernen am Objekt" a learning simulation was of a virtual mechanics laboratory was created to research the extent and limitations of physical mapping possibilities and learning successes through gamification. This "Serious Game" was constructed with the help of the game engine "Unity 3D". Real experiments are transferred into virtual space, resulting in a hybrid learning scenario. These experiments, where students usually only watch from a distance during teaching, are depicted in the virtual mechanics lab. Tasks and questions guide the players through the different experiments and encourage independent experimentation and research. This gives the players the opportunity to carry out physical processes from their own desks, at their own pace and observe them more closely when drawing conclusions from them. To ensure the learning process, a realistic representation of the physical process is important. The learning simulation offers a new perspective on the topics and consolidates the knowledge in a playful way. It can currently be used via a web application that can be accessed from any PC.

Referenzraum

This subproject offers insights into learning architectural theory on the basis of student work. Because in the best case, most learning can be done in exchange with fellow students. This project will contribute to this and propose the development of the digital teaching and learning platform "Reference Space" for the subject of architecture.

References (usually exemplary buildings) lead a double life in architecture: As part of historical discourses and as a reference for a contemporary practice, they are an indispensable part of the writing and teaching of architectural history. For many students, references are considered the currency that allows them to enter a design process and also to be understood by teachers - making it all the more important for teachers to teach a critical approach to them. Each year, students research and reappraise nearly 100 buildings in architectural history. They develop an independent, critical perspective on the historical reference in the "Lecture Theory and History of Modern Architecture". Making this work visible to subsequent students and other courses, embedding it in discourse, and making it available for design processes is the goal of the "Reference Room." What we understand as architecture depends on the references we surround ourselves with. Thus, the "reference space" becomes a constantly updated reflection of what we read as architecture at our faculty.

Decolonizing eyes is a hybrid educational platform that serves as an alternative and counterproposal to traditional learning environments. This platform is envisioned as a space where indigenous and decolonial knowledge are at the forefront of learning methods in the field of photography.

Topia.io is an interactive platform that combines various technological tools such as miro, canva, qr codes and augmented reality filters to create an immersive learning experience. It allows for the exploration of photography through different layers, enabling participants to contextualize, critique, and propose counter histories within the discipline. The goal of the proposed Topia space is to challenge students to deconstruct the normalized violence embedded in the photography industry and academia. It aims to foster critical thinking, self-reflection, and anti-racism training among students. The platform encourages students to problematize their own practices, reflect on biases and stereotypes, and strive to create allyship and sustainable practices within the field of photography. The space is envisioned as a collective community garden, inspired by urban garden projects found in many cities. This garden serves as a metaphor for cultivating discussions, questions, and exercises, as well as harvesting knowledge and reflections from participants. The space integrates aesthetics and cultural practices from the global majority, including those consolidated from the global south. Music, dance, photo exercises, and research tools are incorporated into the Topia space to create a rich and diverse learning environment.

Access to different areas and resources within the Topia space is determined by the progress of students in their decolonization practice. As students engage with the platform and demonstrate readiness, they gain access to more exercises, resources, and spaces within the virtual world. Overall, the proposed Topia space is an innovative and inclusive online platform that aims to revolutionize the way photography is taught and experienced. It provides a space for critical engagement, dialogue, and the exploration of diverse perspectives, challenging the dominant paradigms of visuality and promoting decolonial practices in the field of photography.
