The Dutch designer Richard van der Laken gives an insight into the activities of the international design platform "What Design Can Do". In an open round, concrete examples will be used to discuss which paths are open to designers today: How can design be socially effective? What does it mean to apply design and creativity to the complex and problematic consequences of a globalised economy? How can socially committed design communities network internationally? What formats does "What Design Can Do" offer and how can graduates of Berlin's design schools get involved?


With: Esther Cleven, Manon van Hoekel, Richard van der Laken, Babette Porcelijn, Ake Rudolf
Moderation: Lucas Verweij

In cooperation with Ineke Hans, professor of product design/ design & social context at Universität der Künste Berlin

On the occasion of the Bauhaus anniversary the German Design Day starts the series "Bauhaus 4.0 - Future is made of design". In a total of ten panel discussions, ideas for the design of a future worth living will be collected. In each case three to four top creative people with very different fields of activity and experience will ask themselves questions such as..: How can we use the utopian potential of the Bauhaus not only to react to social developments, but to actively shape them ourselves? How can we learn from the most sustainable design school in history?

The first panel discussion will take place in Dieburg/Frankfurt. The topic:

»Bauhaus 4.0 meets design theory: In the conflicting field between design theory, teaching and practice - on changing the role of design in times of digitalisation«

Among others with industrial designer Susanne Lengyel, Prof. Markus Frenzl & product designer Franz Zebner.

For the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus, the Vitra Design Museum is dedicating an exhibition to the entrepreneur and designer Anton Lorenz for the first time. Lorenz is regarded as a key figure in the development of modern tubular steel furniture. Like hardly any other material, tubular steel embodied the ideals of the Bauhaus avant-garde, such as the quest for a "machine aesthetic" and the search for radically new constructions, as expressed in the famous cantilever chair. The designer owes his importance not only to his furniture designs, but also to his success with patents and company foundations. The exhibition in the show depot includes furniture by legendary designers such as Marcel Breuer, Mart Stam and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as objects and documents from the estate of Anton Lorenz, who belongs to the collection of the Vitra Design Museum.

Since September 2018, the INKA research group at the HTW Berlin has been offering artists, performers and employees of small companies in the cultural and creative industries the opportunity to further their education in the fields of augmented reality and digital media production as part of a six-monthly School for ARtists.

At the AURORA School for ARtists you can choose between five further education courses within eight weeks.

Course 1

Examples, conception and design of augmented reality applications in the creative field

The first training course offers a first introduction to the complex field of Augmented Reality (AR). It focuses on the transfer of basic knowledge and meaningful examples: The cultural-historical illumination of the still young technology is followed by a discussion of current AR applications in the context of artistic expression. The programme also includes an overview of the hardware and software required and clarification of important terms from AR programming.
Subsequently, the focus will be on the analogue conception and design of AR applications in the creative field.

This training is a basic course that does not require any previous knowledge.
