Last year the Product Design department didn't buy anything for its Rundgang presentation. We borrowed, rented and reappropriated existing local materials, tools and services to create a brutal and simple stage that displays the seminars, prediploma and diploma projects of the students of the department. The loan of large concrete slabs was generously offered by Elementa, a company in Karlsruhe that produces high quality prefabricated reinforced concrete building elements. Elementa also kindly delivered the slabs to the school, using one of their trucks. A forklift was rented to position the slabs in the Lichthof. Leftover wood panels were used to protect the floor of the Lichthof. After having fulfilled their temporary function as a stage for the Rundgang, the slabs will return to Elementa, who will repurpose them to be used in future buildings.
