Teaching Design


The Teaching Design exhibition shows all the projects realised between 2014-2019 within the design teaching programme School of Design.



The exhibition Teaching Design is both a celebration of the programme, that we initiated in cooperation with the Heinz-Berggruen-Gymnasium in Berlin and an opportunity for the students to engage with a wider audience, inviting professionals and members of different institutions to engage with the projects on display. It reveals the potentials of the self-initiated teaching format School of Design, offers critiques on our traditional education system and engages with the topic how design can contribute. These topics were also addressed in a short symposium with experts from different schools, universities and cultural institutions to discuss cross-institutional cooperations and future format developments.

It stands programmatically for the continuation and passing on of the teaching format, which was developed in 2014 by Studio Lapatsch|Unger in cooperation with Andreas Friedländer (head of the art department at Heinz-Berggruen-Gymnasium) and supervised and conceived anually. The position of the new design lecturers was taken over by the designers Martha Schwindling and Kimia Amir-Moazami.
