Liquid Campus The ‘Liquid Campus’ series is a yearly project of the ‘Institut für Industrielle Bauproduktion und Entwerfen (ifib)’ in cooperation with the ‘Institut für Tragkonstruktionen (ift)‘ at the University of Karlsruhe and the ‘Stadtjugendausschuss e.V. Karlsruhe’. (www.liquid-campus.de). In 2008 it was managed by Manuel Kretzer, Hans Sachs and Andreas Kindsvater. Altogether 17 students participated and realized four different pavilions.
„Das Fest“ ist eine der größten kostenlosen Open-Air-Veranstaltungen in Deutschland und findet seit 1985 jährlich Ende Juli in der Günther-KlotzAnlage in Karlsruhe statt. Bis zu 200.000 Menschen finden an den drei Tagen den Weg zum Fest, im Jahre 2006 sprachen die Veranstalter sogar von 330.000 Besuchern.

Mit dem Projekt „Liquid Campus” wurde auf Initiative des Instituts für Industrielle Bauproduktion und Entwerfen im Frühjahr 2000 eine so genannte virtuelle Architekturhochschule ins Leben gerufen, welche von zahlreichen Universitäten und Fachhochschulen unterstützt wird. Die Studierenden der virtuellen Hochschule erhalten die Möglichkeit, über das Angebot ihrer Heimatuniversität hinaus Entwurfsthemen an anderen Hochschulen zu bearbeiten.

Im Rahmen dieses Entwurfsprojektes entwerfen jährlich Studenten temporäre Event-Architektur in Form von Pavillons und Installationen für „Das Fest“, die mit ihrer Beleuchtung und Struktur für reizvolle visuelle Effekte sowie eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit der Besucher sorgen und somit Sponsoren eine ideale Möglichkeit zu werben bieten.
Weitere Informationen zu den einzelnen Projekten, Pressemitteilungen sowie TV- Beiträge und ein Videoclip zu den im Jahre 2008 realisierten Entwürfen sind im Internet unter www.liquid-campus.de zu finden.

The project ‘Liquid Campus’ was initiated in the year 2000. From it originated the so called ‘virtual architecture school’ - a platform that is supported by a lot of German Universities and Colleges. Students of the ‘virtual architecture school’ have the possibility to attend a variety design studios from participating schools. Within this field each year students design temporary event architecture for ‘Das Fest’. These pavilions or installations are always a highlight of the festival and gain a lot of attention from the visitors.

Helioglob
by Albert Ellerbroek, Christian Metz, Reo Severain and Stefan Lotze This pavilion was made from a multitude of helium filled ballons that hovered over a suspended nylon foil. This dome gave shelter from rain and constantly changed it’s shape due to wind and weather. DMX controlled RGB-LED tubes were integrated into the ballons and made the whole sculpture glow at night time.
