Hybrid Forum Ephemeral Spaces | Elective Course| Winter Semester 2025/26

Prototype teaching-research project "Hybridforum - Ephemeral Spaces of Architecture" 
Public presentation 13 December 2025, XR+LAB

In the HYBRIDFORUM project seminar, students from the Faculty of Architecture and Design at HFT Stuttgart worked with external experts to analyse and transform three design artefacts and develop them into a prototypical interactive archive in a virtually expanded space. They explored the question of how knowledge is created through movement, gesture and interaction and what role the body plays in the architectural design and mediation process - especially in digital space.

The results of this exploration will be brought to life in live presentations and discussions.
