The exhibition “Programmed for Hope” at HfG-Archiv / Museum Ulm focuses on the architectural experiments at the renowned design school HfG Ulm, which existed from 1953 to 1968. Visitors can experience a kind of retrospective “Rundgang” (literally “round course”)—a term used by art schools in Germany for open studios at the end of the semester. The “Rundgang” can be seen as a metaphorical key to both the structure of this exhibition and the main methods of HfG and its Building Department.
