Open – Design Week Frankfurt RheinMain

social.form

social.form is an architecture studio that conceives and develops socio-cultural projects, and designs objects, spaces, and buildings that support communities. They also realize artistic interventions in urban contexts. Their work is transdisciplinary and collaborative, with a strong focus on participation and cooperation to create accessible projects with a high level of identification.

social.form offers insights into current projects and invites visitors into their space. In addition to the office, the project space open.form is open to the public.

open.form is a space for discourse and exchange around architecture, design, and urban communities in Darmstadt. In everyday use, it serves as social.form’s office, while also functioning as a platform for events and activities.

Live at open.form: the project Schwarzzelt Architektur.
The Jugendverband christlicher Pfadfinder*innen Land Hessen collaborates with social.form and the Department of Architecture at TU Darmstadt as part of the WDC 2026 programme. Within the seminar On the Move? The Tent as a Typology Between Necessity and Escapism, led by Jurek Werth, a tent is created in open.form as a participatory performance. In the evening, a discussion on the theme of the tent takes place inside this structure made of black yurts and Kohten tarps.
