In the summer semester of 2024, an interdisciplinary study project on "Design in the Urban Context" will be offered in Halle-Neustadt. Students from the fields of Interior Architecture, Information Design, and HBK Saar (Social Design/Public Art) will collaborate on this initiative. The project focuses on topics such as social design, urban furniture design, neighborhood development, mapping, and communication.
The aim is to explore the local needs and design possibilities of the project participants. The goal is to develop site-specific design solutions that emphasize social and communicative aspects. The results will be presented in various formats, including temporary installations, posters, and infographics.
Based on the wishes gathered through prior discussions and workshops, we now aim to partially implement selected ideas.
At Tulpenbrunnen in Halle-Neustadt, we designed our Tulpeninsel with vibrant orange objects—a space that breaks the monotony of everyday life while highlighting the vibrancy of this location. Through playful and creative approaches, we used the area to foster dialogue and collectively explore and experience the Tulpeninsel.
Our conversations touched on everyday topics such as cats, football, internet cafés, evenings off, and the joy of eating together. These seemingly simple interactions led us to a deeper question: What does it mean to have wishes? And what does the process of wishing look like?
The Tulpeninsel invites both observers and participants to take a seat, play, and spend their leisure time here. It is envisioned as a dynamic space that can continue to evolve into a shared environment for experiences and active co-creation in the future.
