Auswirkungen von Meditation auf das System Mensch
If we want to change human behaviour in society, we have to consider role the mind plays. This is where all decision-making and thinking processes occur and where the perception of reality, which influences our actions, is evident.
Meditation is a technique that can bring about astonishing changes in the brain and consequently in a human being. It does not do so through the intellect. In my thesis I considered the perspective that neuroscience takes concerning the changes that meditation produces in the brain.
Green Office / mensa von morgen
For the practical element of my Diploma work, I concerned myself with what a Green Office at the HfG could look like conceptually. I established a line of reasoning for a project that would bring about the mensa von morgen (mensa of tomorrow): why is it important to sensitise students and members of the institution to a resource-saving behaviour? What power does a university of art and design have to spur innovation and transformation in terms of rethinking and solution-finding?
With my concept, I seek to demonstrate how a university of art and design can manage the complexity of themes, such as sustainability, resources, climate crisis, cycles and the interdependencies of business, ecology, economy, and society in order to stimulate the development of a system that protects, cares for, and values human habitats.
