Project description

Between Kurzschluss and project studies ... there's the so called ANSCHLUSS. It is about the question WHAT do the students want to design and more importantly HOW do they want to design. The result of the ANSCHLUSS is not only the (perhaps superficial) quality of a product design, but above all the expansion of knowledge and skills in the field of methodology, cooperation, communication, as well as one's own reflexion of the acquired skills ... in short, PROCESS COMPETENCE.

An intelligent process synthesizes practical and theoretical knowledge into ideas that have the potential to push boundaries in one way or another. Design has the possibility not only to talk about things, but to do and show things. This is what the students are trained to, with the awareness that they can develop their own position with their ideas.

No topic could be more fitting for the ANSCHLUSS, and especially for the ANSCHLUSS in times of Corona, than WORK. In two design tasks, ONE : ONE : ONE - Everyday Helpers for Teleworking, and ANYTHING BUT A TABLE - Furniture for Teleworking, the students researched, designed and tested. In different teaching formats, the design tasks were supervised in terms of content and method by internal and external teachers. The project structure consists of the subject areas: MATERIAL & PRODUCTION, WORK & DESIGN, METHOD & COMMUNICATION, DESIGN & PROCESS.
