By highlighting the transformative power of
interdisciplinary teamwork, this installation showcases
projects that weave together the diverse fields of the
Institute Contemporary Design Practices (ICDP)
of the Basel Academy of Art and Design FHNW (HGK
Basel). Covering Fashion Design, Interior Architecture &
Scenography, and Industrial Design, along with both its
bachelor’s and master’s programs, the ICDP is inviting
public participation within this exhibition through
subtle, participatory elements while displaying the
multifaceted nature of collaboration. As part of the
initiative, Viennese duo mischer'traxler studio have been
invited as curating guest lecturers to guide students
through a series of workshops while offering expertise in
the blending of art and design. Serving as an exchange of
ideas, this installation brings the visions of emerging
change-makers to the forefront, addressing current design
challenges through a reflective lens.
