Howto... TheSum online and on site
This year, TheSum lets us look back and forward at the same time. With the aim of drawing conclusions and discussing which experiences and changes from the time of the pandemic we also want to use in the future. In this context, current discourses such as working in the pandemic, the design of living spaces on the university campus or the climate crisis will be looked into, as well as subject-specific questions from the faculties of Architecture and Urbanism, Civil Engineering, Media and Art and Design.
Go on a discovery tour - virtually or on site on the university campus, in Weimar and beyond. The range is wide. That you don't get lost in the abundance of topics, we have prepared some thematic tours for you.

2. PANDEMIC | living and working in the pandemic
3. CAMPUS | a look forward
Especially in times of a pandemic, students from all faculties are thinking about what an ideal campus could look like that is a place to teach, learn and stay, a meeting place and a field of experimentation, as well as climate-neutral. The history of the site was examined in various formats, and visions and simulations for a future campus were created in the summer semester and presented digitally and in the open air.
MEROTOP_ or what will the campus of the future do?
A+U, B | various courses of studies
The corona-related limitations have made us realise and feel first-hand the importance of interpersonal interaction, communication, community, sharing, art, culture, and simply knowing that the opportunities and the places for it exist. How can the place where we work, learn and teach embody exactly that and become an inspiring melting pot for all who come into contact with it? That is what we are asking ourselves and you?

CLIMATE NEUTRAL CAMPUS
A+U, B | various courses of study
Within the framework of various courses, students worked on different questions concerning climate neutrality using the university campus as an example. During the summer semester, the students dealt with building physics simulations, data collection and evaluation. The results were recorded in short videos and presented digitally.

UNTERM ASPHALT DER CAMPUS
A+U | various courses of study
The south campus of the Bauhaus-Universität was completely asphalted in 2015 to make room for parking spaces. It is the perfect example of what urban development should not look like in the face of the climate crisis. The task of the summer semester's urban design is to turn this place into its opposite: a prime example of decarbonisation, unsealing and sustainable building. Along the way, a meeting place for the entire university can be created.
