Transdisciplinary teaching at the Campus of Design

Artistic Design

Experiment. Inspire. Visualize.
This interdisciplinary course of studies under the direction of Prof. Jörg Obergfell is aimed at students of all six disciplines and can be taken additionally. Cooperation with students from other design disciplines is a valuable enrichment of the course. New themes, new materials and new ways of thinking have an inspiring effect on their own work. This subject can be regarded as an artistic experiment between the study courses. Supposed boundaries are extended, broadened, blown up.

Culture and society

In this course offering, common theoretical topics of all fields of study are addressed. Aesthetics and design change lifestyles and social forms. At the same time, design in material and virtual space can unintentionally reinforce everyday concepts and discourses. A critical comparison with sociological, historical or postcolonial perspectives creates distance and opens up new options.
Courses with students from all disciplines have the advantage of being able to learn from the spectrum of subjects and the comparison of tasks, means and solutions.

Theory and History of Art, Design and Architecture

Art, design and architecture as aesthetic practice of a visual and material culture are always in exchange with other social forms of cultural practice. From the so-called high culture of visual art to the utility culture of advertising, from significant architectures to concepts of space, from design objects to everyday objects of use, and from photography and film to the digitalized image, these are always phenomena of socially negotiated processes. In the courses we therefore deal with the systematic discussion and analysis of design and artistic phenomena and with the respective historical and social conditions and discourses in which they are embedded.
