BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS: Together we are visible – the Sekretariate@Bauhaus network

The tasks traditionally handled by the administrative departments at universities has changed considerably in recent decades: these classic administrative offices have since evolved into hubs for academic management. Often, the staff are the first point of contact for academics, students, decentralised administrative departments and external guests. They not only coordinate events, but also distribute information, handle financial matters and communicate – across departments, proactively and often »seemingly effortlessly«.

BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS: Metaverse Made in Weimar

Imagine coming to Weimar, touring the Gropius Room and being able to invite your relatives in Hamburg to join you virtually. Imagine them experiencing the room not just on a video call, but as 3D avatars. You can talk to them live and – thanks to AI – even talk to the objects in the room.

BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS: »Gewohnter Wandel« – Research Training Group Investigates How Housing and Society Influence One Another

The way people live is incredibly important – not only on an individual level, but also on a societal one. Our residential built environment affects social developments much in the same way our social practices affect our housing situation – but in what ways, exactly? Where do the conflicts and challenges lie, and how can research help solve the major housing issues we are facing?

BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS: One Year of »Demokratie stärken« (strengthening democracy) – What Can We Take Away for the Future?

»Demokratie stärken« (strengthening democracy) was the theme at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in 2024. More than 30 projects that focussed on strengthening democracy and participating in democratic processes were carried out through the university's own courses, research projects, and art projects, all in cooperation with partners in Weimar and Thuringia. The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s intention was to improve trust in democracy, science, art and educational institutions in 2024 during Thuringia’s super election year.

BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS: Greener Façades in Our Cities – Is VertiKKA the Solution?

The global population is increasing steadily, as is the trend towards urbanisation. More and more surfaces are being paved. Green is turning more and more into grey – even in cities. Without plants to cool and clean urban air, heat islands and particle pollution will increase dramatically. Additionally, the increasing heavy rainfalls lead to increased flooding if the water is only able to drain into the sewer system and not into green spaces. In order for our cities to be sustainably liveable, they need more vegetation without sacrificing the usable spaces for which demand is increasing. This is precisely where innovative solutions like the VertiKKA project at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering come into play.

BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS: Sustainability as a Matter of Course – The 2023 Environmental Report

Sustainability is more than just reducing emissions: It is a commitment to socially responsible behaviour. At the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, sustainability and environmental awareness are more than just theoretical concepts – they are both a driving forces and a guiding principle. But what does it mean to make a university sustainable? Since the summer of 2023, the Sustainability Team, led by Vice President for Social Transformation Dr. Ulrike Kuch, has been working on implementing concrete changes.

BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS: StimuCrete – How Adaptable Can Concrete Be?

Long-lasting, robust, malleable – concrete is the 21st century’s most important building material. The original three-material system (cement, gravel, water) has become a high-performance material with properties that can be customised through the mix formulation. But there is one problem: Once concrete has been mixed, it can no longer be adapted. This means that unwanted changes in flow behaviour or durability—caused, for example, by varying environmental conditions or fluctuations in raw materials—can no longer be corrected.

BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS: Between Tradition and Change – How Students Are Developing New Ideas for Rural Areas

A lack of public services, an ageing population, shrinking communities, climate change, a loss of trust in democracy — the Thuringian Forest is facing a broad range of challenges. But at the same time, ecological and social changes are opening up new opportunities—what will it take to sustainably transform the region for future generations?

BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS: A Place of Remembrance for Maurice Halbwachs

Maurice Halbwachs was an influential French sociologist who was deported to Buchenwald in 1944 during the reign of terror under the German National Socialist regime. He died at the concentration camp a few months later as a result of his imprisonment. Even today, there is nothing in Weimar to commemorate the renowned sociologist — something the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar aims to change, taking responsibility for acknowledging this part of history. In December 2024, the university will be renaming its largest lecture hall, the Auditorium Maximum, the »Maurice Halbwachs Auditorium« in his honour. For the BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS series, we spoke to Professor Henning Schmidgen and Professor Frank Eckardt, two of the individuals behind the initiative, about the sociologist and philosopher Maurice Halbwachs and their relationship to his work and his life.
