Weißensee Academy of Art, Berlin / Day of Open Doors #3/ Fashion, Material, Communication/ Rundgang

A walkthrough through Kunsthochschule Weissensee (Weißensee Academy of Art) during the Open Day 2025, focusing on the departments of Fashion Design, Visual Communication, and Textile & Material Design. The Fashion Design BA and MA programs present a wide range of student concepts and designs — exhibited both in the studios and along the department’s corridor. The works reflect diverse approaches to contemporary fashion, material experimentation, and conceptual design thinking. The Visual Communication program follows a generalist approach rather than specialization in book design, illustration, or interaction. Against the backdrop of rapidly evolving fields and grounded in a broad understanding of visual culture and its societal relevance, the program enables students to develop independent and distinctive design positions. Textile & Material Design engages with both the constructive and technical dimensions of materials as well as their aesthetic and sensory qualities. The program focuses on designing materials and surfaces in all their varied forms, framed by ecological and social questions that shape contemporary design discourse. This video offers an authentic impression of the school’s interdisciplinary design environment, showcasing student works, conceptual approaches, and the vibrant atmosphere of Weissensee’s Rundgang 2025. #artschooltour #kunsthochschuleweissensee #openday2025 #rundgang2025 #fashiondesign #visualcommunication #textiledesign #materialdesign #berlindesignscene #studentshowcase
