Based on the reading of the etymological routes of the word habitat, students will be asked to develop a concrete project that reflects upon the consequences of the deep meaning of "dwelling" considered in the broadest sense a result of the climate change in Switzerland. Students will be provided with three to five critical keys to frame the challenge and operate inside a contextualized discourse.

Cardboard Lab
_We will take the notion of climate change as a narrative, rather than inviting scientists on the topic to spoil beliefs/hysteria within
_We will set up a "Cardboard Laboratory" – a space to set up Props concerning the topic of climate change from different angles
_These angles are defined through the semiotics of habitat, in human action, wearables, housing, ecologies (group works)
_In the first 2 weeks the students set up a scence/setting out of cardboard (Laboratory for mind treatment on climate effects, space capsule for escapists, ...) students set up, in the next 2 weeks the students will build up a narrative written and performed/ acted and recorded for documentation
_The Cardboard Lab takes cardboard as a temporarily media of civilisation
_We curate and frame the seminar conceptually and hand content to the students
_They go for an explorative, hands-on, aesthetic reach approach in formulating their manifesto (perspective on the topic)


Overall goals:

- experimentelle gestalterische Praxis
- demokratische Grundannahme
- Rolle der Landschaft
