Lectures & workshops The studio regularly teaches at various universities such as Elisava in Barcelona or the Technical University of Munich. From individual weeks to entire semester courses, the principles of the circular economy and material design are taught. In addition, day workshops are also held for groups from outside the field, where the focus is more on initial contact with material design, recycling or sustainability in general.
