arTrace Ausstellung:

 

The “Oberlichtsaal” acts as a reference object, representing the aesthetics of Henry van de Velde´s architecture, and possibly could advance to an identification pattern for an exhibition design “SUMMÆRY.GALLERY 2019”.

Typical parameters of the historic space are to be reproduced within a 2m section of the contemporary exhibition architecture. The design of joint details should be realised by adding similar elements or other interpretations.

The exhibition architecture shall be a temporary construction for presentations during the summer time which can be disassembled and stored, or be weather-proof protected  during winter period.

Each segment will utilize conventional or hybrid materials and technologies developed and provided by industrial cooperation partners.

Deliverables:

A model study in a scale of 1:20 describes essential parameters of the “Oberlichtsaal” as a prototype for the future exhibition design.

A model detail in 1:1 scale presents chosen material and construction.

A perspective view situates the model within an ideal context  and defines the quality of the exhibition architecture.

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.
