Experiment as method II / design built / projects / 1:1 / temporary architecture

"Kreativlabor" or "Creative Lab" or "customize your Messescheiß" was the motto for the Interior Design Students from Hochschule Coburg at imm cologne. The idea behind the project was - again - to give the students as much freedom as possible to come up with their own design.

That ist interesting, because he is approaching the phenomenon of creativity from the viewpoint of social and economic sciences. He therefore focuses on the sozial process of creativity which he has found in Platons definition of "poiesis". Brodbeck says that the New is created through discourse and discussion.
