Introducing the Faculty of Education, Architecture and the Arts

Faculty II offers an interdisciplinary constellation that is unique in the German university landscape: In particular, the social, spatial and art-related interfaces between the work of many academics* have led to an increasingly productive dynamic in research and teaching since 2011. Under its founding motto "Shaping Community", the faculty offers a variety of perspectives on a future to be shaped by humanity along the entire life course.

Invitation to the 13th Siegen Building Day 2025

The façade of a building is far more than just its outer shell. It is the face of a building. It makes the technical, social and political demands of the building visible and legible. It communicates messages that are - more or less consciously - addressed to the public and significantly shape the experience of the urban space.
