Area of Teaching: »Fundamentals of Design and Project Work«
Teaching the fundamentals is a core component of the program: fundamentals retain their power even as trends, techniques, or working methods change. The course “Fundamentals of Design and Project Work” imparts essential skills and ways of thinking that serve as the foundation for working at the heart of innovative processes. The focus is on questions and reflection; it is about empathy and, at the same time, striking a balance between seriousness and creative play. The fundamentals embody a significant power of design that is essential for both lower- and upper-level semesters—and that has a lasting impact on how students think, act, and feel, regardless of their specific specialization.
