Working with students on pressing issues and current tendencies in architecture, art and design
Design for All? Diversity as the Norm
Seminar, Department of Architecture, TUM School of Engineering and Design Technische Universität München
2024–25
In the seminar “Design for All? Diversity as the Norm”, students will take a deep dive into inclusive architecture and design from a contemporary perspective and explore its broad scope: in the light of demographic change and the increasing importance of the mandate of inclusion for public cultural and educational institutions, questions of inclusion and design need to be negotiated more intensively. In addition, the seminar aims to provide a critical reflection on standardisation and norms in the built environment.
