Teilen statt Besitzen
Der Kurs Prozessgestaltung beschäftigt sich mit der Gestaltung von Abläufen und Produktsystemen, die den Gebrauch von Produkten und Dienstleistungen bestimmen.
Im Mittelpunkt steht nicht das einzelne Produkt, sondern das Zusammenspiel von Produkt, Service, Nutzer:innen und System.
Unter dem Leitmotiv „Teilen statt Besitzen“ entwickeln die Studierenden Konzepte für Produkte, Dienstleistungen und Produktsysteme, die gemeinschaftliche Nutzung ermöglichen und langfristig sinnvoll organisieren.
Resultate
Die Arbeiten zeigen, wie durch Prozessgestaltung nachhaltige Alternativen zu klassischen Besitz- und Konsummodellen entstehen. Entworfen wurden:
Produkte ind Systeme für die gemeinsame Nutzung
Dienstleistungen, die Zugang statt Besitz ermöglichen
Systeme, die Teilen, Wiederverwenden und Reparieren fördern
Die Projekte machen sichtbar, dass nachhaltige Gestaltung vor allem dort entsteht, wo Prozesse bewusst entworfen und neu gedacht werden.
Accessibility vs. Ownership
The course Process Design focuses on the design of processes and product-systems that shape how products and services are used. Rather than concentrating on individual objects, the course addresses the relationships between products, services, users, and systems.
Under the guiding theme “Accessibility vs. Ownership,” students develop concepts for products, services, and product–service systems that enable shared use and organize it in meaningful, long-term ways.
Outcomes
The projects demonstrate how process design can create sustainable alternatives to traditional ownership and consumption models. The results include:
products and systems designed for shared use
services that provide access without ownership
systems that support sharing, reuse, and repair
The projects highlight that sustainable design emerges where processes are consciously designed and rethought.
CEMETREE is an alternative, secular cemetery concept that combines nature-based burial with shared use of space. Instead of traditional rows of graves, there are family and public trees under which urns are buried and individually crafted clay tiles are attached. Workshops, support offers, and open, warm architecture create a place that unites grief, community, and everyday use. This reduces land consumption, can lower costs, and offers people without a strong religious background a personal, sustainable place of remembrance.
Trees
Our cemetery offers tree burials as the only form of burial.
Visitors can choose between family trees or anonymous trees, depending on their personal wishes. Each person is laid to rest at the base of a tree in a biodegradable urn, allowing the ashes to gently return to the earth and become part of the natural cycle
Path of remembrance
The Path of Remembrance runs through the cemetery as a shared place of memory.
Personalized tiles are placed along the path to honor each individual, creating a collective space allowing visitors to walk, pause and reflect while staying connected to those who are remembered.
Workshops
The workshops provide a supportive environment where creative work becomes a tool for reflection and emotional relief.
By personalizing tiles, signs, and urns, participants can engage in a quiet, hands-on process that supports grieving while creating personal markers of memory and care.
