The online exhibition platform for »go4spring« begins on Thursday 10 February at 5 pm. Due to the pandemic, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism is once again showing student work from the winter semester 2021/2022 in digital format.

On Friday, 4 February 2022, the three-day Winterwerkschau started its fifth edition. Under special pandemic conditions, the students of the Bauhaus.Module, who planned the event independently and on their own responsibility, realised a fantastic show. Up to 340 people were allowed to be present on location for the broadcast of two livestreams in the outdoor space of the campus under 2G+ regulations. There were detailed hygiene concepts for presence exhibitions.

From 4 to 6 February 2022, the »Winterwerkschau« will take place for the fifth time as a student semester show of the Faculty of Art and Design. For the first time, students from the three other faculties of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the University of Music FRANZ LISZT will also participate in the format. Digital projects, films, music works, products, architecture, art and much more will be shown on 64 project websites, in a total of ten hours of live streaming and on 3,400 square meters of exhibition space.

Under the title "DU KANNST DAS TRAGEN: Kleider - Codes - Botschaften" (You Can Wear That: Clothes - Codes - Messages), the predominantly international students of the Master's programme " Public Art and New Artistic Strategies" are dealing with current social issues in a cooperation with the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz. The results will be presented both in the museum's facilities and in public space from 28 to 30 January 2022.

Picking up where he left off, Prof. Diébédo Francis Kéré provided inspiring insights into his work during his second visit to the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, this time with a focus on participatory architecture. In an experimental workshop format on Wednesday 19 January 2022, which Prof. Kéré led together with Dipl.-Ing. Julia Heinemann, scientific staff member in the Building Morphology Department, architecture students were given the opportunity to engage with the concept of participatory processes and develop daring design ideas.

Following the immense success of his inaugural lecture in November, Bauhaus-Guest Professor Diébédo Francis Kéré, together with Bauhaus-Universität Weimar students, will be focussing in depth on the topic of »Participatory Architecture« this January.

Ab dem kommenden Wintersemester 2021/22 wird die Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Teil der Studienbrücke sein, einem studienvorbereitenden Bildungsprogramm des Goethe-Instituts in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienst (DAAD) und acht deutschen Partnerhochschulen.

Am Samstag, 13. Februar 2021, wird das Ausstellungsprojekt »BASIC INSTINCTS« von Kunststudierenden an der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in digitaler Form veröffentlicht.

Nun wurden die künstlerischen Arbeiten als auch die Ausstellung aufwändig digitalisiert, um diese virtuell zu begehen.



The infection rates in Germany and Thuringia remain high – too high. This has led to the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar –following a successful in-person phase in November and December – to move teaching to a completely digital format for the rest of the 2020/2021 winter semester. The end of the lecture period is typically followed by an exam period in February and March. How this will be safely and effectively is currently being planned by the Presidium, heads of faculties, the Crisis Unit, and the Koordinationsgruppe Corona (corona coordination group), taking all necessary measures into account. The responsible committees are continually assessing the situation on a daily basis in order to adapt and possibly adjust the measures currently in place.
