students participating in the design project '(kauf)haus der ideen' presented and discussed their work with the staff at the chair prof. j.j.kühn and guest critic christian haid (fabric). the project was about the design of a library in berlin pankow, whereas the idea was to combine the utilisation as a library with additional programs. hence the concepts that have been developed throughout the course challenge traditional typologies and feature innovative and new building organisations.
