How do we want to live? How do we want to work? How do we want to produce and consume?

The Industrial Design course<\/strong><\/a> at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle<\/strong><\/a> is about future-oriented design solutions for facing questions in an increasingly complex living environment \u2013 through the experimental design of products, materials and processes as a contribution to a sustainable common culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The variety of ways to shape products and applications using materials and technologies is already immense. And every day, new possibilities arise. The question that this poses is: Where do we want to steer this potential \u2013 during a time marked by uncertainty? Many future issues \u2013 particularly sustainability \u2013 have become pressing and acute. It is no longer a question of environmentally friendly materials and technologies. A sustainable future requires a fundamental rethink and interdisciplinary dialogue.

In order not only to name and reveal the manifold aspects in their complexity, but also to design them, we experiment with materials, with hypotheses, with scenarios \u2013 in our own workshops and laboratories, in close exchange with other disciplines and technology partners, and with potential users. We question the familiar \u2013 for example, whether short life and sustainability (always) conflict. We investigate circulating materials and products as well as circulating processes \u2013 using, for example, industrial waste streams as a resource and develop concrete answers for real actors in order to meet the urgent questions with approachable visions that are indispensable for a critical and future-oriented debate and transformation.

Biotechnology plays a central role in the exploration of tomorrow’s materials and technologies. On the one hand, it promises great potential \u2013 especially with regard to resource- and climate-friendly production. At the same time, the fear of alienation from nature is increasing. Our goal is to extract what is desirable from what is (technically) feasible with the means of design, because renewable materials, manufacturing processes using living organisms, and adaptive and resilient products and systems will play a central role in design and in our future way of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
