Designbuild in Architecture
TUM’s Architecture Museum is opening its largest and most comprehensive exhibition on “DesignBuild” to date – a teaching method offered at numerous architecture schools around the world, where students can plan, design, and implement projects on a full-scale basis. They build homes, theaters, schools, kindergartens, and hospitals, mostly in developing countries, but occasionally also in underserved areas on their own doorstep. The teaching method is not without criticism, but it offers students the opportunity to lend a hand and deal with unknown people, other cultures, and different materials.
DesignBuild has a long tradition, but in recent years has become an increasingly popular concept at many universities. The purpose of the exhibition is therefore to inform the general public about the social impact and longterm significance of this teaching method.

Workshop DISPLAY (Curating, exhibiting, communicating) together with Maureen Mooren for the Cultures of the Curatorial MA Program.
In celebration of its 10th anniversary the team of the MA CotC initiated a weeklong symposium with the intriguing title: Show And Try Again. It took place at the HGB (Hochschule fuer Grafik und Buchdruckkunst) in Leipzig from 26-30 November 2019. A workshop was organized in October 2019 for all HGB students that were interested in the combination of curating/exhibiting/communicating and in designing and organizing the setting for this event. Each day of the symposium would have a different emphasis: show, try, again, no show & assembly. And for each day different guest speakers and performers were invited to present, do workshops or performances. With groups of students we worked on a different setting for each day in relation to the content.
