Studio 1: Das Runde muss ins Eckige with Bernd Hopfengärtner
The workshop explores sport as a complex cultural and communicative system that goes far beyond physical activity. It highlights how sport shapes identities, communities, and visual culture, while continuously evolving through technology, social change, and global challenges.
Students are asked to use foresight methods to imagine possible futures of sport, developing speculative scenarios and translating them into design outcomes. The focus lies on process: researching signals of change, crafting a future narrative, and creating a visual project that communicates these ideas. The seminar emphasizes openness, experimentation, and the understanding of design as a tool to explore and shape emerging contexts.
