space for art
new campus interior design (b.a.) – amd düsseldorf
the bachelor program in interior design (b.a.) has moved from platz der ideen to the campus of hochschule fresenius at franklinstraße 41, within düsseldorf.
at this new location, i wanted to create a space for my students to learn that does not speak through appearances, but through concentration. architecture as a backdrop for teaching. spaces are never neutral – they influence and shape how we think, learn, and discuss.
the space stages attentiveness as background. the white sheet of paper on the black table, the presentation in front of the black walls, the discussion in front of the entirely black environment: everything is directed toward the essential – toward content.
as an architect, i always conceive spaces as stages and frameworks. this space is intended to invite students to place their own thinking, their ideas, and their work at the center.
interior design does not simply mean equipping spaces with functions – it means creating places for free thought and discourse.
welcome, dear students!
special thanks go to my tutors pia marx, alina gudaqi, pia berger and anna caillault for their extensive support in planning this project, to the carpenter frederik faber for his excellent craftsmanship, and to the university, which supported and made possible this form of teaching and learning environment.
