Annotation

Here you will lay the foundation in six semesters – from the diagnosis of the present to future visions to your own design profile. You will begin by examining the specific crises of our time and learn to understand these not only as economic challenges, but as societal ones. To this end, we broaden our perspective: instead of rigid doctrines, the focus is on analyses and analytical methods from the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences. You will develop a historically grounded, pluralistic perspective of the economy and learn to understand it as a culture and institution that can be shaped. What you explore through scientific reflection, you’ll put to the test directly in collaborative design projects: in the workshops, you will learn to navigate social contradictions, to explore changes methodically and ultimately assemble actionable building blocks for the next economy. All of this is accompanied by the character-building modules. These modules provide you with space to refine your position by reflecting on it and experimenting with new possibilities.
