"schaubau" is the international summer school that has been taking place in the heart of the Bauhaus city of Dessau since 2018. The design camp is aimed at designers from all disciplines.
This year, we are offering you three different workshops over three days. You can take part in one, two or all three workshops. The choice is yours.

When, if not now? Who, if not you? Where, if not here? Climate change and the environment, health, the economy, social justice, equality, peace, globalisation, values and rights, the rule of law, security, digital change, democracy, migration, education, culture, youth and sport ... that's what Europe stands for. But what are YOUR topics on Europe, what does your Neuropa look like?
What is your creative commentary for a Europe in which you want to live? The choice is yours: you design your own personal key visual on your European theme! You have the opportunity to realise it in three different design techniques. For example, you can design an environmentally friendly Riso poster and display it prominently on a wall, screen print it on paper or fabric or photograph it as a holographic image in Dessau's urban space (LED flash stick) and the stimulating supporting programme (Bauhaus ...!) will ensure sunny summer days in the province.
Don't forget your laptop and your swimming gear!
Together with Alexander Branczyck, you can design your Neuropa motif on our risograph as a two-colour A3 poster, as a cut-out or as a small zine - you name it. You then use wallpaper paste to put up posters on our street advertising pillars.
Alexander Branczyck was project manager at Erik Spiekermann's MetaDesign from 1988 to 1994. He was also art director of the cult magazine "Frontpage" and a founding member of the collaborative Type'n'Typo project Face2Face. Alex lives in Berlin and dedicates 247 of his time to his risography printing company Drucken3000.
Jennifer will help you create your holographic Neuropa image using an LED stick and long exposure photography.
Jennifer is a trained photographer and runs her own photo studio in the centre of Dessau. She specialises in portrait and reportage photography. In self-staged projects, she experiments with analogue and digital photography and makes the invisible visible.
Together with Alex, you will develop your Neuropa-Graphic as a stencil and transfer it onto posters, walls or fabric (you are welcome to bring bags, shirts and aprons) using screen printing, spray cans or brushes - it's entirely up to you.
Alexander Lech is the founder of BüroHallo, probably the most unconventional design office in the future-oriented city of Dessau (Saxony-Anhalt). BüroHallo designs bold corporate identities, customised websites and experiments with graphics, text and photography in workshops. Integrated design means everything at the same time - only then will it be good. Alex is the founder of schaubau.
The stimulating supporting programme (Bauhaus ...!) and fun chefs (vegan/vegetarian) ensure a chilled summer week in the province.
The ticket price does not include accommodation. However, you can find affordable accommodation just five to ten minutes' walk from BüroHallo at Pension Siewert or Pension Nord in Dessau-Nord. It is also possible to stay overnight in the historic Bauhaus building not far from the BüroHallo.
