In 2 relevant sites of Weimar, the students of the Spring School 2026 will generate systemic analysis to further develop ecofriendly and bioclimatic neighborhoods, slow mobilities, social approaches towards a
series of various urban interventions, addressing contemporary challenges related to current and future climate crises. In collaboration with the Institute for European Urban Studies (IfEU) at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Pauline Gaudry who has more than a decade of practice in Urban context in Paris/french cities and Rural context in Normandy, will follow these goals:
1. HISTORY AS IMPULSE. Work with the history of the place to identify existing ordinary buildings and structures. Rejuvenating and adapting
2. PEOPLE MAKE PLACES. Creating places with people & communities through inclusive proposals.
3. TEMPORALITIES TO TEST PROGRAMS. Meet the needs of local population and context to build a program using the concept of tactical urbanism
4. BIODIVERSITY SYSTEMS TO ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE and raise awareness.
5. UNDERSTAND AND FEEL THE CONTEXT TO DEVELOP A UNIQUE APPROACH. Each site has its own identity. Genius loci or “The Spirit of the Space” are following the sense of continuity and authenticity of a particular place.

Our screens have consumed our perceptions of reality, in which we can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is hyperreal. Splitting and merging our digital lives to remain fluxed and confused. This course seeks to know how we can better understand our present hyperreal reality, to ask how we arrived here, and what it means in our posthuman identity.
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the intersection of technology, art, and posthuman concepts. Whilst understanding the ability to critically evaluate the effects of AR might have on our present. After the course, and practically speaking, participants will have learnt how to build and produce artistic augmented works with TikTok Effect House, with hands-on workshops. They will have acknowledged how to guide their individual viewpoints and the theoretical influences, that their works can raise critical questions and opinions on where and how our post-human present is radically/ethically changing our technological understanding of our future and past

This blended workshop introduces advanced engineering students to a powerful new paradigm in computational mechanics: scientific machine learning. Traditionally, the finite element method (FEM) has been the workhorse for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) in physics and engineering. In this course, we contrast FEM with emerging deep learning-based methods - such as physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), neural operators, and AI-assisted tooling - to give participants a rich, comparative understanding of both frameworks.
The course begins with a self-paced online module with pre-recorded sessions that refreshes core FEM concepts, sets up coding environments (Matlab/PyTorch), and walks through baseline solver implementations. This will be supplemented by the on-site sessions to build foundational fluency. During the in-person phase, morning lectures will dive into the theoretical underpinnings of scientific machine learning for PDEs, while afternoon sessions will focus on hands-on projects. Participants will extend classical FEM solvers, benchmark them against machine learning surrogates, and explore how large language models can assist in code generation, documentation, and experimentation.
What makes this course exceptional is the emphasis on cross-pollination: using the familiarity of FEM to demystify the neural network-based solvers, and vice versa. The week concludes with short presentations where participants share insights from their experiments, fostering reflection and peer learning.

Objects are never just things. They carry stories, memories, and meanings. Sometimes hidden, sometimes questioned. This course explores how ordinary and overlooked objects can be archived and activated into powerful carriers for memory, identity and used as tools for storytelling and interaction. Through online seminars, students will be introduced to theories and practices around objects, collections, and archives, engaging readings like Dawn Raffel’s The Secret Life of Objects, Yanagi Sōetsu’s The Beauty of Everyday Things, and Craig Staff’s The Materiality of the Archive.
We will discuss how artists, museums, and archives work with material culture to provoke questions, preserve memory, and spark audience participation. In the on-site week, participants will visit archival and museum collections in Weimar (such as the Archiv der Moderne and Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Bibliothek) to conduct hands-on research. Each student will select an object, ordinary or overlooked, and develop a creative archival project. These may take the form of interactive installations, conceptual collections, performative storytelling, or digital narratives. The week will conclude with a group-built “alternative museum,” where participants present their projects for the Bauhaus Spring School Open Studios. Together, we will reveal the surprising, layered lives of the objects around us.

In our day and age, which is at times labelled to be the ‘Anthropocene’, the traditional, Western distinction of natural and cultural spheres seems to blur. This affects a variety of spaces, including the Sea and thereby different maritime spaces. In recent decades, there has been a significant shift in media and cultural studies, in order to gain a further understanding into how those bodies of water have never been ‘natural’ (in the sense of ‘untouched’, ‘pure’, ‘original’, etc.) at all. Rather they have been the site or scene of various modes of structuring and thus have always been a space in-between ‘nature’ and ‘culture’.
The educational targets are threefold: I) highlighting the ongoing trend within Media and Cultural Studies (including art-related research) to focus on maritime spaces as a consequence of the ‘Anthropocene’. II) broadening the students view concerning the discrepancy regarding different notions of the sea (i.e. the notion of ‘freedom’ and ‘adventure’ versus the ‘stratification’ of the sea). III) enabling first steps towards an understanding how technical artefacts and matters of engineering are always linked to an affective dimension, setting up images, promises and expectations which go beyond the mere construction.

We will visit collective farming projects in Thuringia that embody the vision of an ecological and solidarity-based society in times of climate crisis and rising right-wing extremism. We will discuss their experiences against the background of theories and debates on economic democracy. We will link abstract concepts such as socialization (of land) and democratic economic planning to the practical activities and challenges of agricultural cooperatives and community-supported agriculture that we will visit. The participants will use the acquired theoretical knowledge to present the visited projects within the context of key challenges of our time. We will present our results in an analogue low-tech exhibition. The exhibition aims to inspire through the combination of radical concepts and hands-on experiences.
The course is based on an internationalist perspective that places solidarity and democratic freedom at the centre. In this sense, it is about local democratization with an internationalist vision.

The participants are invited to explore drawing as both, an architectonic methodology and an inspirational narrative tool. From conceptual diagrams that initiate projects to sketches of specific places that later shape design character, we will investigate how graphical representation supports the storytelling of phenomena and ultimately evolves into complex ideas.
The course combines an online phase focused on brainstorming and conceptual development with an in-person phase in Weimar dedicated to intensive visual inquiry workshops, graphical storytelling, and collective critique sessions. The course will be conducted by Pappal Suneja (Bauhaus-Universität Weimar) and Kashish Sachdeva (New Delhi, India), together with guest lecturer Dr. Endrit Marku (Bauhaus4EU Allianz partner, Polis University, Tirana). Pappal Suneja (PS) will lead both the online and in-person phases, guiding students through visual research methods, diagrammatic storytelling, and critical reflections on drawing as narrative. Kashish Sachdeva (KS) will contribute during the online teaching phase of the course, offering her insights and guidance remotely in support of the conceptual development and narrative framing sessions. Guest lecturer Endrit Marku (EM) will lead a two-day workshop on narrative ideas and storytelling strategies within architectural research, enriching the course with intercultural and interdisciplinary perspectives.
In a relatively short span of time, the participants’ projects will navigate the twofold concept of time — both chronological and experiential. They will be challenged to shape narratives, as storytelling is our only way to make time and space intelligible. In his essay Architecture and Narrativity, Ricoeur writes: "Architecture would be to space what narrative is to time.". This quote will be the foundation and starting point of the process. If architecture is considered - space configuration through narrative, then building form and drawing (the latter is the means through which architectural form is generated) can be seen as semiotic means through which meaning is expressed.
We will practically explore the potential of drawing as a visual representation of language, of narratives, and as an alternative to writing. The typical process of prefiguration, configuration, and refiguration — through which time becomes narrative — will be translated into a process that expresses architecture, places, and memory through drawing. Participants will learn to see graphical representation as a powerful research method that generates knowledge and communicates ideas effectively across diverse audiences.

Everyone agrees: in the face of the dramatic effects of the climate crisis, art should urgently act, filling the voids left by politics and governments. But what kind of responses are required from art? And through which strategies can we engage aesthetically with the climate crisis? Here, the answers vary widely. For some, aesthetics—as a form of sensory, embodied engagement—should foster a participatory experience that reconciles us with nature. It should enhance awareness of ecological values, allowing us to recognize the beauty of nature and, in turn, the need to preserve it. Others, however, warn against the risks of idealizing nature as pristine and pure, as a kind of salvific elsewhere.
They instead advocate for a more unsettling, disturbing, and aggressive aesthetic that resists romanticization. Some argue that the climate crisis is, in itself, an aesthetic problem: it transcends time and space— those categories that Kant, in his transcendental aesthetics, identified as the a priori conditions of sensibility. Climate change, in this view, is a “hyperobject”, eluding our perceptual and cognitive frameworks. The task of art, then, is to provide a sensitive and affective access to this elusive phenomenon. Other authors, following Donna Haraway, argue that what we need most is a speculative aesthetics—one that imagines alternative futures and creates new narrative tools to shape our world and our relationships with non-human beings. In the first, theoretical part of the seminar, we will engage with texts by a variety of authors (such as Berleant, Morton, Haraway, and Bennett), presenting and discussing key approaches within ecological aesthetics.
The second part of the seminar, including student presentations and contributions, will connect these theoretical positions to artistic practices. We will explore how artists working across various media—literature, film, installation, AI—develop and embody ecological aesthetics. Finally, in the third part, the students will realize their own artistic project and present it during the final “Open Atelier” of the Spring School.

Discover the various aspects of the built environment and Urban Heat Islands and learn how to develop more resilient cities!
In this intensive course, participants get an insight into the subject of “urban heat” and are offered the opportunity to develop GIS skills. The course systematically leads participants to learn about the relation between human-made and natural factors on the built environment, and how responsive planning and design strategies serve heat mitigation. During the course, participants are also acquainted to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or professionalise existing GIS-skills to map heat islands and mitigation strategies for different case areas in Cairo. Participants will work with climate data, interpret and discuss them with expert input and leverage their own experience of perceiving urban heat into a scientific context, leading to practical design solutions that respond to urban heat in a spatial, cultural, and social context.
