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«.

The city of Khulna in southern Bangladesh lies on two tributaries of the Ganges. Khulna is currently battling major waste issues, including huge amounts of plastic that get washed into the city from the rivers and further into the sea. Since 2021, scientists from the Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET) have been working with colleagues from the Environmental Engineering Department at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Eckhard Kraft investigating how to avoid waste in the long term and how to implement a sustainable waste management system in Khulna.

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 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.

This year's annual exhibition at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is all about »PLAN B«: Which teaching and research projects are already providing answers to the climate crisis, the digital revolution and globalisation? Students and instructors from all four faculties are hoping to address social challenges with new ideas and solutions by thinking ›outside of the box‹. They will be presenting their work from the academic year at summaery2024 from 11 to 14 July, and invite visitors to come and exchange ideas at various locations on campus and in and around the city.

In wenigen Tagen startet die Jahresschau der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, die summaery2024. Traditionell rotiert die Federführung zwischen den vier Fakultäten. In ihrem Jubiläumsjahr ist die Fakultät Bau und Umwelt für das Motto und die Gestaltung der summaery verantwortlich. Weithin sichtbar in großen Lettern ist der PLAN B auf den Plakaten inzwischen im Stadtraum präsent. Uns interessiert, welche Gedanken hinter den fünf Buchstaben liegen. Und was Besucher*innen auf der summaery2024 ab dem 11. Juli vier Tage lang sehen und erleben können. Für unsere Serie BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS haben wir Prof. Dr. Tom Lahmer, Dekan der Fakultät Bau und Umwelt, dazu befragt.

In a few short days, summaery2024, the annual exhibition at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, will begin. Traditionally, the role of organiser rotates between the four faculties. As this year is its anniversary year, the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering was responsible for the theme and design of summaery. PLAN B can now be seen in big bold letters on posters across the city centre. We are interested in the thoughts behind these five letters. And what visitors to summaery2024 can expect from the four-day event beginning on 11 July. For our BAUHAUS.INSIGHTS series, we asked Prof. Dr. Tom Lahmer, Dean of the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, about just that.

A familiar space reimagined: Since mid-June, students have been able to come together in the foyer of the University Library in the new co-working space. The space, which opened on 13 June 2024 as part of the »Night of Writing«, is still somewhat of an insider secret, but is becoming more popular.

On 14 and 15 June the 19th Concrete Canoe Regatta took place in Brandenburg on the Havel. Over 1,000 students from six countries competed to prove that concrete can float. Never before have so many teams been registered. Participants included: 32 Students from the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Whether competition, construction or design - Weimar impressed across the board with wins in almost all categories.

Am Mittwoch, 5. Juni, wurden die Weimarer Betonkanus im Schwanseebad öffentlich getauft und erstmals zu Wasser gelassen. Nach erfolgreicher Testfahrt bereiten sich die studentischen Teams nun auf die Betonkanuregatta am 14. und 15. Juni in Brandenburg an der Havel vor. Unter dem Motto »KANUSAURUS – Aufbruch in ein neues Betonzeitalter« wollen Sie die Jury nicht nur im sportlichen Wettkampf, sondern auch mit Kreativität und Konstruktionstalent überzeugen.

Which teaching and research projects are already providing answers to the climate crisis, the digital revolution and globalisation? Which ideas have the potential to solve issues and what improvements are still needed? Guests to the summaery2024 annual exhibition will have the opportunity to experience and learn about these thoughts and ideas on campus and across Weimar.

1994 traten die ersten Betonkanus aus Weimar bei der Regatta in Heilbronn an. Damals noch ohne Platz auf dem Siegertreppchen, wurden die studentischen Teams der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar im Laufe der letzten 30 Jahre immer erfolgreicher. 2024 geht erstmalig ein Boot aus Recycling-Beton an den Start. Am Mittwoch, 5. Juni, findet um 13.30 Uhr im Schwanseebad Weimar eine öffentliche Testfahrt statt.
