Pecha Kucha second group Modusmodul – There will be no ETCS-Points! AlExANdRA d’INcAu and cHRISTOPH lANGlucerne university of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland

Based on the theses that above all, each institution (in our case an art school) consists of administrative and organisational structures, linguistic terms, space oscillations etc. which effects and impacts are hidden at first sight and are only revealed to those inaugurated and willing to see and realize, we explored if and how the multilayered nature of such an institution has an influence on the practice and artistic contents of our students.

Intersections in Architectural Creation. MARíA ISABEl AlBA dORAdOSchool of Architecture at the university Antonio Nebrija, Spain

Architecture has a large subjective component. Thoughts and creation are intimately related in any project and process. Although architecture is realized through building systems and materials, it is only possible by building conceived thought. Students should be brought to reflect and work consciously with their personal experiences. Schools shouldn’t remain indifferent to the vicissitudes of life. Photography Photobooks MATT JOHNSTONcoventry School of Art and design, united kingdom Two years ago Johnston was tasked with improving what was very poor engagement with library resources in the photography department. By creating an experience around these books and artifacts as well as bringing a wider community into the classroom via online discussion, he was able to create a vibrant and engaged Photobook Club. This project has been shared amongst the department and has spread to other institutions and individuals. There are currently 24 Photobook. Clubs in more than 10 countries.

Stimulating Nimble Thinking: How Experiential

Education Changed Lecturing. After having attended a training course on experiential education ‘lecturing theory courses’ became a different didactic practice. It aims no longer at communicating certain canonical facts on art history and art theory, but rather at stimulating the nimble thinking of students. Reflective observations and moments of ‘not knowing’ are crucial in this education of ‘thinking artists’.

This presentation will explore the relationship of memory to design within a given society. So called “socialistic design” produced products, which have had a recognizable importance to those societies. While the uniformity of most household goods resulted in a lack of uniqueness, this period also yielded designs that remain forever etched in history, and we can’t help but ask - why? cOlIN BOuRNETrinity laban conservatoire of Music and dance, london, united kingdom

The artefact consists of an iBook that offerstext content in each chapter alongside interactive illustrations on the fundamentals of the subject.
