About HURRA HURRA

 

'Students, teachers and designers will experiment, create and discuss new concepts, applied models and requirements for design education in today’s world. For three days, the Design Campus of Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle will be transformed into a peer-to-peer meeting place: 100 years after the founding of the Bauhaus, BURG will examine school systems, experiment in learning methods, deconstruct expert discussions and reconstruct them in open discussion forums. Together we will eat and celebrate, program and weld, discover and invent, argue and find common ground.'

Founded in 1915, the Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle, with its two faculties of art and design, offers an unmistakable profile throughout Germany with excellent educational and study conditions. With over 1,000 students, it is one of the largest art academies in Germany. Visionary thinking and design are promoted in more than 20 fields of study, as is the development of practical professional skills. The university has excellently equipped studios and workshops and is networked with numerous research institutions, institutions and companies. In the more than 100 years of its existence, the BURG has developed into an art college that explores the tension between practice and research. Thinking and working across genres is also encouraged from the very beginning of the course of study by a broad-based basic education. The Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle thus combines continuity and constant orientation towards new requirements in the two faculties of art and design in an outstanding way.
