From 2 to 6 September 2019 the interdisciplinary workshop “The Campus as Learning Environment” had been held as the first of two parts of the Corporate Learning Architecture block seminars.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the landscape architect and first female professor at the TU Berlin, Herta Hammerbacher, developed the external facilities of the campus as communications, experimental and instructional objects.
Taking the theoretical and empirical connections between learning and environment into consideration, students discussed open space as a learning environment. Students researched and analyzed manners of designing open spaces at the Technische Universität Berlin and reconstructed the underlying concepts and potential actions. With a brief presentation of the project initiatives, conceptual layers of landscape and interaction design at the Technische Universität Berlin had been documented.
