The study project "From shed to Räumling" aimed at examining the potential of the urban mine. As a group, the students designed a spatial installation using only 'removed' elements of a garden shed without permanent attachments. Finally, this installation also had to be designed for disassembly and provide building material for another structure.

Contentful Surrogates? - Virtual Reality for the Conservation of Art Installations
Explanatory video: e-Installation: Virtualization of Media Art (Film)
Dr. Dr. Jesús Muñoz Morcillo
On the virtualization of media art: Although technology-based art has only existed since the early 1960s, the lifespan of many of these works of art is very short compared to more traditional genres such as painting or sculpture. A remedy for this is a new kind of documentation of media art using VR and telepresence technologies: the e-installation.

Outlines of political art in the 20th century
Lecture
Apl. Prof. Dr. Martin Papenbrock
This lecture cursorily traces the lines of development of political art from the 1920s to the end of the 20th century. The focus is not on the state arts, but on the various forms of artistic resistance against political and social hegemonies of their time. It addresses the questions of the specificity of a political art, its forms of articulation and strategies, its themes and iconography, its relationship to the artistic avant-gardes and to the social movements of its time.
Resurrected Art in the Institute
Video project by students
Roberta Cebataviciute and Özge Kaya

The Yearbook of the Department
On 374 pages, the yearbook published in October 2021 documents the teaching and research of the professorships and teaching areas and provides insight into the diverse department life.
In addition to the contributions of the professorships and teaching areas and the data section, which documents all important events of the academic year 2020/21 in text and images, the yearbook is again dedicated to discourse. Under the title "Salutogenesis", the contributions in the Discourse section explore the question of how architecture affects a "process of recovery" for people, society, the city, the environment or perhaps even the planet.
