Im Rahmen einer Ringvorlesung wird der Park an der Ilm in diesem Sommersemester an der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar zum Gegenstand für einen fachübergreifenden Diskurs: Unter dem Titel »Heterotopie Ilmpark« treten Lehrende aller Fakultäten der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in fünf öffentlichen Veranstaltungen in einen Diskurs über lokale und globale, künstlerische und wissenschaftliche, ökologische und technische Themen und Herausforderungen – als Ausgangspunkt dafür dient der Ilmpark. Die erste Online-Vorlesung findet am Mittwoch, 13. Mai 2020, um 18 Uhr statt.

The Kontor&Stift shop is currently slumbering like Sleeping Beauty, the Tonraum is producing regular live streams and the Maschinenraum is overhauling decommissioned laptops. How are Weimar’s student initiatives reacting to the current situation? By inventing new formats, of course! Or, in some cases, waiting until they can finally resume operations.
How do the media engineer our ability to think? And how does the mass medium of television regulate our actions, feelings and knowledge? These and other exciting media-studies-related questions have been tackled by Dr. Lorenz Engell, Professor of Media Philosophy at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s Faculty of Media, on Radio Lotte since 4 May 2020.

The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar began its digital semester on 4 May, and after many weeks of intensive preparation, modules and projects are available for digital remote study in all of our study programmes. The semester has become a testbed, with the university testing new digital formats for the very first time. However, in addition to the classes themselves, studying and student life also includes aspects like a well-stocked library, modern computers and printers, and the opportunity to learn languages or take part in university sports. How will the summer semester affect this part of the student experience?
In the media industry, »remote work« is a popular, much researched phenomenon. Scientists are interested in different aspects of this new way of working: how do media change our living and working environments? What are the consequences for companies when digital nomads are largely able to work anytime and anywhere thanks to modern technology?
Preparations for a rather extraordinary summer semester 2020 are currently under way in the Faculty of Art and Design. It is particularly difficult to imagine how artistic and creative project-based courses with a practical emphasis can be run under the current conditions. So how are the academic staff and workshop employees preparing to teach without face-to-face sessions?
The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar University Library reopened on Tuesday 21 April for books and DVDs to be borrowed and returned. This service will initially only be available Monday to Friday from 10 am to 2 pm and for Bauhaus-Universität Weimar members only.
»Imitation expressly encouraged!« is the motto guiding the principle of »open design«. To enable people to look after each other as much as possible during the coronavirus crisis, teaching staff in the Product Design and Interface Design departments have developed a special visor. The »BauhausUniVisor« is already being produced in the Bauhaus Form + Function Lab for use by local and regional care facilities and other partners.
