Werkschau Design & Architecture 24/25
Graduation Show Peter Behrens School of Arts
At the end of the winter term 24/25, the graduates of the Design and Architecture departments of the Peter Behrens School of Arts at the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf will present their projects during the Werkschau Design & Architecture 24/25.
Around 250 young designers and architects specializing in Architecture, Interior Design, and Civic Design as well as Communication Design, Exhibition Design, New Craft Object Design, and Retail Design are looking forward to your visit.
Take a look at the graduation projects on the Werkschau’s website.
The inspiration for this year’s graduation exhibition design lies in Japanese calligraphy and the traces of worms that have eaten through paper and scrolls. Those traces often form an unintended visual symbiosis with the written characters. They seem to complement, mirror, or complete them. While the calligraphy remains on the surface, the worm also penetrates into the depths.
Initially, pathways within the university were traced. Random encounters in the corridor can lead to a change in direction. Parasitic and symbiotic states can be interpreted both as symbols of relationships within the university and in relation to modern communication. We know less and less about who is writing, where information comes from, how it works, and the influences and power dynamics from which it has emerged. Likewise, we know little about the bacteria in our bodies, yet we have learned that we need these microbes to survive. The linear approach to reading and perception is long outdated. We must read in layers, penetrate them, accept randomness, and knowingly or unknowingly form symbioses with writers of all kinds—machines, humans, worms…
