To mark the 200th anniversary of Munich's Academy of Fine Arts, the Architekturmuseum der TU München is launching the festival year with a show of works by its lecturers in architecture and their students. Impressive works on paper, pictorial material, plaster casts and models illustrate in the first two rooms of the exhibition the specific form of architecture studies at the Academy. Among the famous teachers in the 19th century were Carl von Fischer, who designed Munich's National Theatre, Friedrich von Gärtner, whose great international influence was comparable to that of the Prussian Schinkel school, and August von Voit, who built Munich¿s Glaspalast. Just as in the 19th century the study of architecture at the Academy was incorporated into the »realm of the arts« together with copper-plate engraving, sculpting and painting, so this tradition was continued in the last century with notable architects such as Sep Ruf, Paolo Nestler and Otto Steidle. To this day architecture is still taught along particularly artistic lines there.

Under the direction of their professors, students of interior design have developed especially for the exhibition an installation entitled »The third room«. The joint task of the departments of interior design, product design and exterior design has been to address sociologically relevant concepts such as self-projection, community and retreat and translate them into concrete spatial situations that can be directly experienced in the exhibition. 52 students spent months knotting together 1.2 million recyclable cable ties to create a walk-in room installation measuring 200 square metres. The visitor is led into an abstract landscape of cocoon-like birds nests hanging from the ceiling and tents made from spiders-web-like tissue. This concept adopts the design approach espoused by the Academy, one that is essentially oriented towards interior design.
