Five new project seminars I Go:Green start in WS 2024/25

In the winter semester 2024 /25, five interdisciplinary project seminars will be offered at the Green Office in cooperation with the Department of Architecture, Urban and Landscape Planning, the School of Art and the Entrepreneurial Thinking and Action business unit. Attendance at the project seminars can be recognized for Bachelor's and Master's degree courses as well as in the area of key competencies, in consultation with the respective examination offices.

1. "Project Seminar I Go:Green: Material Exchange on Campus HoPla II"

The seminar is intended to continue the successful work in SoSe24 on the conception of a materials exchange on the HoPla campus: Through the elaboration of circular economy topics (see below), the initial establishment of the material exchange is to be supported, evaluated and improved. The material exchange is a place for collecting, processing and reusing different types of materials as well as a digital platform for archiving available resources. The Material Exchange promotes the establishment of a circular economy on campus and supports SDG Goal 12 "Produce and consume sustainably".

The seminar will take place weekly and comprises 4 SWS. It is offered by the Department of Design in an Urban Context at the Institute of Architecture.

2 "Design Your Shared University Space - Sustainable design of student workspaces"

The seminar "Design Your Shared University Space" is the active continuation of the analytical-conceptual Go:Green seminar "Caring and Sharing of University Space" held in the summer semester 2024, with which an important process was started for the spaces of Faculty 06 / ASL as well as for other departments of the university in the future. This process aims to create a new culture of self-critical awareness of the necessity of sharing and caring of university space as well as the reuse and upcycling of discarded furniture. With its focus on design, the seminar "Design Your Shared University Space" responds to the students' realization that complex changes to familiar conditions require good planning and sufficient time for a grassroots democratic process. We are responding to the students' wish to deal with the forms of use of the existing rooms and the future rooms still to be set up in the production hall in the coming semester. In the end, a manual for room sharing, for the furniture exchange and for furniture upcycling for the campus is to be developed based on the findings of the specific ASL questions.

The seminar is offered by the Department of Construction and Project Development | ARCHITEKTUR STADT ÖKONOMIE at the Institute of Architecture.

3rd KunsthochschuleReststück@KHK - materials exchange at the KH

In SS 2024, the Material Exchange - Remnants project, in which students from the Department of Architecture, Urban and Landscape Planning collect unused material from model making and make it available to other students, was successfully launched. Based on this model and with this understanding, the possibilities, requirements and initial test runs of a material exchange at the KHK are to be explored and tested.

The seminar will be offered by Prof. Dr. Susanne Ritzmann, Professor of Sustainable Product Design and Development at the Kunsthochschule Kassel.

4. green city gravel

There are many gravel surfaces in Kassel. The seminar "Green city gravel" in the SDG+Lab of the University of Kassel will be continued: Search for suitable areas on the university campuses as well as in the property of the City of Kassel and private individuals; planning of renaturation, support of the respective owner during implementation; public relations; success monitoring.

The seminar is offered by Dr. rer. nat. Jochen Wulfhorst, UKT Business Unit Entrepreneurial Thinking and Action.

5th Strohbau4Experts

The seminar is a real laboratory for the development of 1:1 models from renewable raw materials with a focus on straw construction in self-construction by students. The components in real size will become part of the materials library at the FG ENB and will serve as long-term visualization and study objects for future students. The seminar is the second part of a series of seminars organized by FG ENB in FB06.

The seminar is offered by Frederik Ehling at the Department of Design and Sustainable Building at the Institute of Architecture.

The project seminars will soon be available in the course catalog .
