Creating Retreat Spaces for Students and Faculty of the Ernst Busch University of Performing Arts (HfS).

Develop “Shelter Spaces” for members of the Ernst Busch University of Performing Arts to enable moments of self-care. Feel free to craft visionary ideas to significantly enhance the quality of stay at the university for both students and faculty – from interior furnishings to urban gardening elements and spatial concepts.
Throughout the entire design process and project, you will be supported by designated design mentors, who are part of the Ernst Busch University of Performing Arts community. This close collaboration is intended to assist you in developing and refining your concepts in line with the needs of the users.

The aim of this project is to design and develop a versatile mobile kitchen cart that offers modularity and adaptability, allowing users to customize it according to their specific needs and preferences. This innovative solution is intended to provide a flexible workspace that can be easily adapted to various events, storage requirements, and available space.

By adding ribs, similar to those used in aircraft construction, an unstable sheet metal shape is transformed into a practical everyday object.

The boxes used are durable, lightweight, and food-safe. Depending on the requirement, the Kitchen Roamer can be customized for various scenarios.

For an event, the cart can be equipped with specific modules, such as cups and plates. The various modules can otherwise be stored in designated holders in the cabinet and used in everyday kitchen activities.

Eurobox: DIN Standard 55423

Mobility in the kitchen means that various elements can be easily moved. This is particularly convenient when you want to use the kitchen for various purposes, whether it’s for cooking, dining, working, or social gatherings.

Furthermore, the combination of modularity and mobility contributes to increased efficiency. A well-designed modular kitchen allows for better organization and storage of kitchen appliances and utensils, while mobile elements facilitate workflows and enhance convenience.
