Design and Technology

Classical craft education is one of the oldest disciplines at the University of Arts. Since 2016, the Design: Technology.Textile course has not only combined content from the former subjects of Technical Crafts and Textile Crafts, but has also expanded these to include current digital production techniques.

This new field of study focuses on the perception of living environments and the question of materials, processes and/or objects that influence and determine our surroundings as well as our own creative, knowledgeable actions and active participation in shaping the environment. Material culture is explored in its manifestations, functions and meanings in an interdisciplinary, action-oriented manner and through active engagement—inventing, constructing and artistically designing.
