College of Architecture, Media and Design
As a reaction to dynamic relations in society, the economy and culture, man intervenes in the forming of his
environment – in architecture, design, fashion, and media. The College of Architecture, Media and Design deals with the conception and implementation of these interventions. The targeted integration of science and art goes beyond purely creative-aesthetic work.
Within the framework of the University’s structural reform, the College introduced trend-setting changes onto the German university landscape – for instance, interdisciplinary subjects, openness in the handling of problems, and the accentuation of the elements of experiment and intuition with regard to general social conditions. The new module system enables students insight into related courses of study, for often similar questions lie at the foundations of the creative disciplines, which help them to produce their own design strategies. The integration of scientific and structural aspects mark the College’s research activities – no matter whether financed by the state or business. The gallery ‘designtransfer’ offers a suitable platform for the latter.
