The architecture for this year's tour was developed and implemented collectively by the students of the seminar "Just Merged" under the direction of the Offenbach-based artist collective YRD.Works. YRD.Works operates with its works at the interface of art and temporary architecture. The central element of the expansive intervention is translucent fabric panels that are installed on different levels in the university's atriums. The textile playfully creates new spaces within the existing architecture and divides the building into vertical and horizontal visual axes.
The project offered all participating students the opportunity to help shape the process from needs analysis to exhibition opening and to actively accompany the transformation from theoretical concept to practical implementation.
The development of the exhibition design for the interdisciplinary tour was an interdisciplinary process in which design, planning and craft techniques were used and taught. To facilitate the translation of the initial idea into a working exhibition architecture, an introduction to project management based on real-world parameters was also provided. A special focus of the course was on artistic work in a collective - the collaborative generation of ideas and the subsequent implementation as a team.
