Narrative Environments
Since 2013 ‚Narrative Environments’‚ is part of the Institute of Environment and Natural Resources (IUNR) of the University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) Switzerland. The institute teaches and promotes sustainable uses of natural resources and a responsible attitude towards people and their environment. In client-based projects students create Narrative Environments for public places and exhibitions. The installations are considered to be spaces where experience and knowledge are produced in a narrative, playful or contemplative manner. They create an alternative to traditional cognitive learning and fact-based information environments. The user experience is central to each environment, allowing visual, tactile, oral and special experiences to unfold. Narrative Environments include storytelling, scenography, immersive experiences and alternative knowledge-production. http://www.narrativeenvironments.ch/blog/beispiele/

2019, Garden and outdoor exhibition on ecology, value and politics around soil
'Erdreich' 2018 is a narrative environment on the value and politics of soil. The transdisciplinary project comprises scientific facts, soil profiles and different soil types and presents conflicts and opportunities around this non-renewable resource. The topography has been completely reshaped as an earthwork and allows the visitors to step down into the underground. The 'garden' on the Campus of the Institute of Natural Resource Sciences ZHAW was conceived with geologists, soil experts, artists and biologists.
