Spatial Strategies

The Spatial Strategies degree program deals with space in the broadest sense – at the interface of architecture, design, society and artistic practice. It looks at the major challenges of our time such as digitalization, social justice, migration and climate neutrality; these aspects are addressed in the form of aesthetic work in image, space, object and installation. The focus is on the relationships between the dimensions of space and people, on designing effective space-human relationships. Students learn to develop creative skills at the image, communication and implementation level for independent work in this transdisciplinary field. The boundaries between real and virtual space are fluid. The course is interdisciplinary and prepares students for a wide range of practical activities – in scenographic work, for example for the design of interior and exterior spaces such as exhibitions or stage spaces, but also for the design of new formats for urban redevelopment.

Specializations within the course: BA Scenography/Interior Design and MA Spatial Strategies

The Spatial Strategies course brings together the Scenography/Interior Design (B.A., 8 semesters) and Spatial Strategies (M.A., 4 semesters) courses under one roof.

Practical application and theoretical foundation in the Spatial Strategies degree program

With a focus on project work, the Spatial Strategies degree course is about developing design skills in relation to media, political, artistic and social spatial issues. These are taught and developed in the form of lectures, seminars and practical exercises. On the scientific basis of philosophy, sociology, cultural, media and visual studies as well as movement research, spatial strategies are not only analyzed theoretically and empirically in their historical and current forms, but also applied to concrete projects. Transmedia artistic research in spatial contexts as well as critical scenography – also in public space – describe the field of activity here.

Core area project work: from theory to artistic practice

The project work is dedicated to the design of scenographic temporary, experimental and urban spaces as well as curatorial practices in space. The interface between scenography, architecture, film, art, design and digital media determines the aesthetic work with image, space, object and installation. The scope of action ranges from minimal interventions to typological redefinitions of spaces in the field of application between materiality and digitality.

Detailed insights: The BA Scenography/Interior Design and MA Spatial Strategies degree programs

The BA Scenography/Interior Design course is intended to enable the development of design skills at the image, communication and implementation level for independent work in this transdisciplinary field.

The MA program Spatial Strategies is intended to enable the in-depth development and design of individual working methods and theses along socially relevant spatial issues on the basis of the standards of scenography/interior design.

Future orientation: The importance of the Spatial Strategies degree program in the cultural landscape

The transdisciplinary Spatial Strategies course at the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design takes account of the growing importance of artistic research as well as scenographic and curatorial design practice in contemporary cultural production.
