Sichten 25 – Dialogue

The anniversary edition of the annual exhibition of the Department of Architecture at TU Darmstadt from 1 to 5 November

2022/10/18

After a two-year break, the Sichten exhibition of the Department of Architecture at TU Darmstadt is celebrating its long-awaited comeback.

From 01 to 05 November 2022, the exhibition presents not only numerous building and urban development designs, but also the broad spectrum of design, artistic, technical and scientific aspects of studying architecture at TU Darmstadt. Sichten 25 – like all previous Sichten exhibitions – was put together and staged by students of the department.

The digital and the analogue and the dialogue between the two have become increasingly important for the students in recent years, which is why we have made them the theme of our exhibition. After all, architecture thrives on exchange, communication and interaction. We encounter the digital and the analogue during our studies, sometimes obviously in the form of a submission, sometimes more covertly in our choice of working methods. We can set a focus, but we can't get by without one of the two parts. This became especially clear in times of domestic isolation.

In the past two years, a lot of work has been produced, some of it at our own desks, some of it in the workrooms at the university. We are showing these works in this year's exhibition and in the accompanying catalogue as an expression of new insights, applied knowledge and creative ideas.

The exhibition venue is the Galerie Kurzweil at Bismarkstraße 133.

The programme

We will celebrate the opening of the exhibition on Tuesday, 01.11.2022, with the vernissage from 6 pm. The following day, as part of the Wednesday evening lecture series, the Sichten 25 Pecha Kucha Night will take place at 6 pm in the Lichtwiese auditorium, leading into the opening of the international symposium “Are you a Model?”. On Thursday, 3 November, the Jakob Wilhelm Mengler Award will be presented, ending with a cosy bar evening in the gallery. The exhibition will culminate in a finissage party on Saturday, 5 November.

The Sichten25 team is looking forward to your visit.
