The Faculty of Design at Coburg University of Applied Sciences opened its doors for the tenth Campus Design Open in May 2024.
Visitors were offered a lot: 40 inspiring exhibitions, 15 exciting specialist lectures, ten workshops, guided tours of the Campus Design, guided tours of the Institute for Sensor and Actuator Technology (ISAT) and live music on all three days. Eight bands played on the stage at the Hofbrauhaus – in the rooms there was plenty of interesting information from the Bachelor’s degree courses in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Interior Design, Integrated Product Design, the Master’s in Design, the Master’s in Resource-Efficient Planning and Construction – Civil Engineering, Digital Heritage Technologies and Heritage Conservation.
The degree programs reported on seminars, projects and excursions and presented outstanding examples using designs and models from student research projects, Bachelor’s and Master’s theses.
One focus was on the topic of timber construction – and the renowned architect Tomoaki Uno had traveled all the way from Japan to speak on this topic.
Other highlights included the Civil Engineers’ Day and the ISAT Open Day.
Many of the designs and topics also showed in a forward-looking way how sustainability can be combined with aesthetics and function.
The many collaborations at the University of Applied Sciences also demonstrate how fundamental the practical relevance of the course is – and the Joachim Kurbasik Prize and the Ullrich Hanses Prize once again stood for particularly good connections this year . They were awarded to graduates with outstanding theses in the Civil Engineering course.
