A paper meadow preserving botanical memories, DIY film sets performing a live road movie, a teleporting house forming a queer community space, and self-printing maps plotting the intricacies of a landscape.

These are some of the outcomes of Space and Communication, an interdisciplinary MA programme that designs with space as a means for experimental investigations and critical explorations. Students produce ambitious design installations by working with different media including film, objects, performance, sound and video games. The course is structured across multiple studio projects, workshops, and external commissions which traverse a range of design disciplines and contexts. This expanded approach to design, and the diverse methods and processes the course teaches, drives projects that engage with contemporary issues including the social, political, and environmental. By creating original projects and methodologies, students develop distinct forms of practice and produce new design languages.

Space and Communication is dedicated to nurturing personal approaches and perspectives for interacting with the world through design. The course promotes social exchange, collaboration and interactivity as the basis for practice-led research. In doing so, it successfully prepares its graduates for futures working in design and media, scenography, exhibitions, design installations, and public or retail environments. Alumni work for commercial companies, institutions and in education, as well as setting up their own design collectives such as Trojans Collective, Studio Tech and Studio PfliegerFoegle or dedicate to their individual practice in design and art.
