The archive shows works by students from the master studies “Digital Technologies in Architecture and Design”, "MediaArchitecture" and the double-degree programme “IMAMS”. Results from the special exhibition Bauhaus.Orbits are also presented here.
Interactive interventions_Bauhaus steps to 100
MediaArchitecture interventions will be designed at authentic Bauhaus-places and domains of the former Bauhaus protagonists in Weimar to make the history present for visitors. The places form a network of trails and can be experienced during a Bauhaus walk. Interactive installations at this places communicate visual and acoustic information about Bauhaus history through the media sound, light, image, text, colour and material to design hybrid realities and spatial situations. The user can experience with all senses and physical interaction to grasp the knowledge about the Bauhaus-place and history. The specific communication patterns are for different target groups. The students develop context based interactive or reactive prototypes.
MediaArchitecture Introductory Project-Module
Winter semester 2017/18
MediaArchitecture interventions will be designed at authentic Bauhaus-places and domains of the former Bauhaus protagonists in Weimar to make the history present for visitors. The places form a network of trails and can be experienced during a Bauhaus walk. Interactive installations at this places communicate visual and acoustic information about Bauhaus history through the media sound, light, image, text, colour and material to design hybrid realities and spatial situations. The user can experience with all senses and physical interaction to grasp the knowledge about the Bauhaus-place and history. The specific communication patterns are for different target groups. The students develop context based interactive or reactive prototypes.
The project is structured in three parts with plenum review. In the first part students analyse the Bauhaus places and their history and create drawings, photos, text and sound. Parallel to the analysis students learn in workshops how to apply different media tools and technologies.
In the second part students develop theoretical and design based concepts for interactive installations or objects. They will combine the concepts with different technical systems or devices multimedia-based, poly-sensory and interactive to communicate information and integrate them in the spatial context of the Bauhaus-places.
In the third part workable prototypes will be designed up to scale 1:1.

Studio Projects
Studios are the main semester projects in terms of workload and ECTS. Students are encouraged to develop artistic, experimental work following the research-based studio outline. IMAMS students in Buffalo join the Situated Technologies Research Group, one of four research studios at the core of UB's architectural graduate studies. Students in Weimar join the MediaArchitecture studio as part of their foundation semester. →
Seminars
Seminars cover a broad range of research based, technical and/or artistic practice. The general topic outline is flexible as defined by the study regulations. Students are generally encouraged to attend a balanced mix of media as well as architecture seminars. Between both faculties at both universities is where the interdisciplinary nature of IMAMS really comes to light. →
Thesis Projects
Thesis projects are undertaken after the completion of all mandatory coursework and are handed in at both universities under the supervision of interfaculty staff. A general differentiation is made between scientific / research-based and artistic / experimental theses. Further details on thesis and academic degrees here. →
From July 3 to 14, 2019, students in the MediaArchitecture course exhibited the installation "Bauhaus Orbits" in the foyer of the university library of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, which makes historical Bauhaus discourses come alive with contemporary means. In the artistic-academic project, the students classified and analyzed design and teaching concepts from Bauhaus masters such as Walter Gropius, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Paul Klee. They then transformed the elements of discourse practices at the Bauhaus contained in selected historical sources into an algorithmically applicable data set and integrated them into a digital network. This was reflected on the surface of the installation »Bauhaus Orbits«, the geometry of which is inspired by the historic skylight hall in the main building of the Bauhaus University Weimar.
»With the Bauhaus Orbits we want to enable users to experience the historical discourse immersively by using digital means to create a new unity of visual, auditory, tactile and intellectual experience. Students will find a form of Bauhaus discourse that is appropriate for the 21st century«, says Dr. Sabine Zierold, spokeswoman for the MediaArchitecture course. The Bauhaus Orbits project was supervised and worked on in an interdisciplinary manner by professors, staff and students from the faculties of architecture and urbanism, media, civil engineering, and art and design.
