2026-10-28 @ 16:00
Healing Architecture. Spaces that Empower People—Color and (Universal) Design for Well-Being, Independence, and Participation—Healing Architecture is far more than just a concept for the healthcare sector. It is an approach that comes to life in every space through thoughtful contrasts, functional details, and a harmonious color and material scheme. Together with HEWI and Caparol, WDC 2026 invites you to discover how holistic design has a forward-looking impact on physical, mental, and social well-being.
Public, inclusive workshop on bookmaking for adults with and without disabilities
2026-10-28 @ 17:00
Books open up worlds. But for whom - what is it about? Books show us new things. They tell stories. We can learn a lot from books. But are books made for everyone? Books are often designed by and for people without disabilities. We want to change that. All people should be able to understand books well. To do this, we try out new ideas together.

It is the heraldic animal of the city and the official heraldic animal of the Federal Republic of Germany. But the eagle is also a popular symbol for national coats of arms, flags and medals beyond the city and state borders. But do the eagle, lion and bear still reflect the values that are important to us today? Let's think about this together: What does a democratic society need? Courage, cohesion, freedom,...
