The joint BMBF-funded MOVEwell project is scheduled to begin in September 2024 under the leadership of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The goal of the project is to make rural areas more accessible, thus increasing the attractiveness of the regions as business locations – in particular for skilled workers. Using three model regions in Thuringia as examples, innovative and sustainable public transport concepts will be developed, tested and integrated with workplace mobility management concepts. Nearly 4.6 million euros are being provided by the federal government for this project over the next five years.

After several years in development, the prototype for a new type of façade greenery system integrated with solar panels is being tested under real conditions at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funded »Vertikale Klima-Klär-Anlage« (VertiKKA for short) project will be installed on the façade of the Bauhaus-Institute for Infrastructure Solutions (b.is) at Coudraystraße 10. The prototype will be presented to the public for the first time during the grand opening on 5 September 2024 starting at 4 pm.

Mit der Landtagswahl am 1. September endet für Thüringen das Superwahljahr 2024. Wie können Bürger*innen zum Wählen – und damit zur demokratischen Mitbestimmung – motiviert werden? Dazu haben sich in diesem Jahr Institutionen und Initiativen verstärkt Gedanken gemacht. So auch zwei Professuren des Studiengangs Visuelle Kommunikation der Fakultät Kunst und Gestaltung an der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.

The state election on 1 September marks the end of the 2024 super election year in Thuringia. But how can citizens be encouraged to vote – and thus to participate in democratic co-determination? A number of institutions and initiatives have given this question some more thought this year, including two professorships from the Visual Communication programme within the Faculty of Art and Design at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.

The online gallery »Traces of REcreation« shows 16 bachelor's and master's theses from the product design programme that were created in the winter semester 2023/24 and summer semester 2024. The graduates have worked individually or in teams on current and relevant topics such as mobility, material design, industrial design and social and critical design. The works can also be visited on site in Weimar from 11 to 14 July 2024 for summaery2024, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar's annual exhibition.

Starting at 5 pm on Friday, 12 July, the Faculty of Media will be presenting a wide range of projects that deal with the present and future of a diverse, digital society as part of their Open Lab Night for summaery. This year will be the last time that the Computer Science of Media and Media Studies Departments transform their rooms in the former Coca-Cola factory at Schwanseestraße 143 into an experimentation and research station. Once the lecture period ends in August, the Faculty will be moving back to Bauhausstraße 11.

Die diesjährige Jahresschau der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar steht ganz im Zeichen des »PLAN B«: Welche Lehr- und Forschungskonzepte können schon jetzt Antworten auf die Klimakrise, die Digitale Revolution oder die Globalisierung liefern? Mit neuen Ideen und Lösungen, die anders und ›um die Ecke gedacht‹ sind, möchten Studierende und Lehrende der vier Fakultäten der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen begegnen. Zur summaery2024 vom 11. bis 14. Juli präsentieren sie ihre Vorschläge für Zukünftiges, zeigen die Ergebnisse des Studienjahres und laden zum Ideenaustausch an zahlreichen Orten auf dem Campus sowie in- und außerhalb der Stadt ein.

What could the future of vacant spaces look like? How can regional material cycles and sustainable construction methods be used? How can the future issues of town and country be solved? These are just some of the questions that students at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism will answer in their semester projects and exhibit at the summaery in and around the main building of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.

For this year's annual exhibition, students at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar often present their projects in unusual locations away from the campus. In addition to the art and design exhibition spaces in the historic Van de Velde ensemble and Marienstraße, summaery2024 will also feature completely new venues. This year, for example, passers-by can experience textile art at the train station in Apolda or immerse themselves in democracy campaigns in the Weimar shopping mall »Atrium«.
