It was impressive how you managed to push your projects forward and bring them to a good end despite the uncertain circumstances caused by 🦠. We hope you will keep your studies in good memory.

Ulrike Felsing and Max Frischknecht, lecturer and alumni of the HKB MA Design, contributed to the symposium “Shifts in Mapping” organized by the Masterstudio Design and the HeK - Haus der elektronischen Künste Basel. The symposium discussed current positions, projects, concepts and methods in mapping and put them in a larger context. Find more information at https://shiftsinmapping.ch (web design by Début Début).

Congratulations to our alumna, Marika Simon, on her successful crowdfunding! In her “Spital-Lab”, she enables young patients to explore and co-design their hospital ward with playful tasks methods. As a result, she hopes to find ideas for designing the ward of the future – by young patients for young patients. Follow the process soon at http://www.spital-lab.ch/.

With great regret, our valued head of the Fachbereich Gestaltung und Kunst, Andreas Vogel, is leaving the Hochschule der Künste Bern HKB / Haute école des arts de Berne HKB. In the last years, Andreas has led the Fachbereich democratically and collaboratively and successfully profiled it as a more personal alternative to larger institutions. Now we are looking for a successor to continue this project and bring new ideas to the Fachbereich. Please find the advertisement at https://jobs.bfh.ch/offene-stellen/leiterin-oder-leiter-fachbereich-gestaltung-und-kunst-hkb/0dd6bb35-f8ca-4bce-96d1-e86c1145c6f9.





Daniela Moser gefällt an der BFH ganz besonders die Atmosphäre. «Sie ist irgendwie positiv, anregend und optimistisch. Wir alle wollen lernen, vorwärtskommen, etwas bewegen. Dieser Spirit beflügelt mich schon seit über 30 Jahren.»
