SS 2024 - HOCHSCHULE FÜR TECHNIK STUTTGART

DENK- UND
MACHEREI
18 students from the study programs of Architecture, Interior Architecture and Climate Engineering explored bioregional and circular techniques to develop new uses for a former glass factory in the Upper Palatinate. A meeting place for regenerative construction is being created there: the „Denk- und Macherei“.
The vast site offered numerous treasures to be explored during the course. To this end, the „Denk- und Macherei“ hosted us for a workshop. Existing resources – both used and natural – were collected, mapped, analysed and used in practical experiments. Using only raw materials available within the premises, the first prototypes for sitting, eating and working in the newly developed communal kitchen were to be designed on site from 23 to 26 May 2024.
The result is a large number of exciting prototypes. The first of these were used around the campfire during the workshop itself and withstood their first rain shower. The direct experience and co-creation of the place was not only educational, but also decelerating and offered an extremely inspiring break from everyday university life.
Participating students:
