○ A Spatial Framework and Model

Thanks to modular adaptability, spatial configurations can be created as needed to meet the requirements of specific learning situations. Through this interactivity, users encounter a flexible and designable space - in contrast to the rigid and hierarchical lecture halls or seminar rooms. Creative and critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills cannot simply be taught, but must be experienced in an active process of interactive learning. These processes of scientific and artistic work are not only enabled and promoted by the spatial laboratory, but in the course of the funding phase the Studio itself will be continuously developed as a spatial framework through empirical evaluation and feedback. This will create a close connection between model and reality, theory and implementation, which is new for the participating universities.

○ Participation

With the participatory involvement of students and teachers from a large number of faculties at the two cooperating universities, the spatial laboratory will also produce extensive documentation and information material that will support the implementation of further spatial redesigns, but will also develop strong impulses for project-based and student-centred learning and research.
