WDC-Campus

Exhibition

Innovative, research-based projects in design, architecture, and science by students, graduates, and startups – developed in collaboration with universities and complemented by award-winning works – present solutions to the current societal challenges.

With the theme of “young talents at work,” the exhibition forms the heart of the WDC Campus, serving as a showcase for universities and higher education institutions. Taking place from 03 July to 09 August, the exhibition will be held at the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt and the adjacent Metzlerpark, spanning a total area of over 1,200 m². It highlights a wide range of areas that shape our everyday lives: from public spaces, health, and education to new forms of cohabitation, responsible consumption, and technological innovation.

Since the winter semester of 2025/26, numerous seminars at participating regional partner institutions have developed initial projects specifically for this exhibition. Contributions from national and international educational institutions, such as UdK Berlin, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, and Design Academy Eindhoven, will also be included in the exhibition. For the first time, award-winning works from some of Germany’s most prestigious institutions and competitions will be brought together under one roof.

In this way, the exhibition becomes a stage not only for young talent and a vibrant space for exchange, inspiration, and dialogue across disciplines, generations, and perspectives – serving as an important catalyst for shaping our shared future.
