Room 2006
In the subject Design: Technology.Textiles, especially in the field of technology, there was no dust- and noise-free place to teach, to discuss, to learn, to reflect, to take a break and to cook and eat, apart from the fantastic workshops until 2019.
Winter semester 2019/20

This need, together with students, gave rise to the idea that it would be useful and necessary to give these activities a place: Room 2006. A former printer, equipment and storage room was cleared out, necessities were redistributed to other rooms and thus a new space was created.
Within the framework of a semester project, eight students and two teachers met weekly in the now empty Room 2006, dealt with new teaching and learning spaces and gradually developed a room that took up the needs of the students' and teachers' everyday studies and took future fellow students and colleagues into consideration. The following questions arose:
How do we want to teach and learn in the future?
What do schools, learning spaces, places of concentration or communication look like? Do we sit, stand or lie down better when we learn?
And do we feel comfortable in black, white and grey rooms?
Do we need plants, or just colour?
How can the furniture be adapted to our different needs? Do we even have time to change anything?
The former printer room became our experimental laboratory on the topic: teaching and learning, concentration and communication. As a future project room, it should offer quality of stay and be flexible in use. A place where we would like to think, design, read, learn, discuss and meet in the future. Finally, the students designed a completely new, flexible room with tables, chairs, sofas, pin boards, blackboards, shelves and a mobile kitchen, all of which were made in the workshops. For the 2006 room, a SmartBoard for practising for later teaching was also purchased according to the students' idea, and a grey linoleum floor was laid. With its flexible possibilities, the room now serves as a lecture room, team meeting room, break room, exhibition room, work room, kitchen and, above all, as a place for learning and teaching: A place for learning and teaching as well as communication and contemplation.
