We start with the design principles, the energy, drinking water and sewage systems, the construction materials and the design of the […]
Seminar und Pflanzaktion, 19.11.2022 @Äerdschëff Faszination Waldgarten – Sie haben schon vom Konzept gehört, wissen aber nicht, ob es in Ihrem Kontext umsetzbar ist? Sie möchten mehr lernen über Food Forests / Waldgärten, und über Design-Übungen sowie konkretem Anpflanzen eines Waldgartens in die Aktion kommen? In diesem Seminar lernen Sie, natürliche Kreisläufe bewusst zu nutzen und so zu lenken, dass sich aus Gesellschaften mehrjähriger Pflanzen produktive […]
Enrolments are open! Context:What if we could redesign everything to address the major sustainability challenges of the 21st century? Circular design is about designing products and services that do not have a life cycle with a beginning (production – take), a middle (consumption – use) and an end (waste – dispose), but whose entire life cycle is seen in a circle. Objective:KnowledgeThe participants:– know the […]
Enrolments are open! Context:Circular economy is based on designing waste and pollution out of the system, keeping products and material in use and regenerating natural systems. Objective:KnowledgeParticipants: know the concept of the circular economy and its history understand the links between the Äerdschëff and the circular economy. know different principles of circular design and gamification get ideas on how to implement the notions of circular […]
Enrolments are open! Context:What does a donut have to do with economics? How can we meet the needs of all and stay within the limits of our planet? Objective:KnowledgeParticipants: – know the concept and development of donut economics – have notions of environmental/ecological economics– understand the links between the Äerdschëff and doughnut economics– get ideas for the implementation of the notion of doughnut economics in […]
Enrolments are open! Context:Nowadays there is a lot of talk about interdisciplinarity, but what is actually happening in schools? How can we deal with the great challenges of our time (e.g. environmental and social problems) in the school context by doing justice to the complexity of the subject matter and going beyond the boundaries of the individual school subjects? What practical and content-related adjustments can […]

If we want to understand nature and design anything inspired by nature, we can take a close look at its order, patterns and regularities! We learn why different shapes exist in nature and what they make possible (spirals, symmetry, branching, waves, etc.) and see how people have adapted these patterns to create a design inspired by nature. Our example of this is the Äerdschëff, which […]
Despite all the advances of human civilisation, our survival depends on about 50cm of soil and regular rainfall (quote: Paul Harvey). For being so important for food, carbon storage, regulating water in urban areas and biodiversity, we do not know it well! Moreover, we do not treat this precious resource very well in industialised agriculture, through sealing of land and changes in land use. In […]
