Villa, Summer 2014

The "Villa" is a project space on the Campus Design of Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts. I am living there on the top floor, which is not the most important fact about the Villa :)

Students of Interior Design are making experiences in a project called OLE-optimal learning environment. The students have not found much awareness about the design of space in which we try to learn or teach at Universities.

Some three other students of mine are experincing a creative lab in the villa, where their first project is to design a stage for VLOW at Bregenz Festspielhaus.

And of course, coffee experience with Tchibo took place in the Villa.

There is nothing new to the fact, that the design of space makes a difference in creative processes. It is just a horror to see how little effort is laid into creating space that has a positive impact on learning and teaching. 

You just need to want change.

Istanbul Design Campus 11.-15.11.2013

Istanbul. More than 120 Students. About 14 workshops. Turkish and German teachers. Süper! turkish-german collaboration. A lot of trash. They call it chaos - we call it home. The Police. A great ending. Grand Finale Istanbul Trash Design Campus 2013 @facebook @armstrong dlw

van de Velde

Caus Laemmle  was a perfect client and a great support for our van de Velde Project.  Together with armstrong dlw, kvadrat and knauf, who greatly supported our workshop, we organized a three months project with students from University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Coburg. Starting at Claus Laemmle's van de Velde exhibition in Weimar we had the chance to get into deep with van de Veldes design of Schloss Lauterbach in Saxonia.  Claus and Claudia Laemmle as owners offered the students one room in their castle for their design. But not only a room, but also lots of enthusiasm, space and support, not to mention two gorgeous workshops in Schloss Lauterbach.  The task was to build a prototype of an intervention into the room through a temporary installation alongside the ideas of Henry van de Velde. The idea is to use the student's work for the creation of a permanent installation. See more about Schloss Lauterbach, Henry van de Velde and Claus Laemmle bueroplasz at...
