Pheno+ Making renewable energies tangible for small children
Students from the interdisciplinary Studium generale programme from Facultys 1-4 have developed play and learning objects for toddlers aged 1.5 to 3 years. Some of these were to be built as prototypes and tested by small children. The aim was to develop market-ready play and learning objects and didactic teaching material for educational staff. The actual objective was to introduce children of nursery age to technical and scientific content (STEM) and to integrate the topic of renewable energies into early childhood education.
Creative integration of wind turbines
The topic of wind energy has so far hardly been considered from the point of view of its architectural potential. Existing projects or studies deal with the large-scale arrangement of wind turbines in the landscape or sometimes with their product design, but not with the small-scale improvement, for example through use-specific additions on and around the masts. The approach pursued aimed to analyse the architectural potential of the turbines and develop proposals for solutions with regard to additional usage options, such as cultural or touristic ones. The high potential for conflict in connection with the erection of wind turbines speaks in favour of this, while possible legal and safety-related problems in the implementation of improvement measures on the turbines stand in contrast. The success of wind energy can be strengthened individually, with concrete proposals at the respective project and location.
