Zwischen(t)räume is a project by students and teachers of the study program 'Design: Technology.Textile' of the Mozarteum University, residents of the Strubergassensiedlung and the residents' service Lehen & Taxham.

The Knowledge Transfer Centre West has set itself the goal of sustainably intensifying and professionalising knowledge transfer through joint actions and measures, tapping into exploitation potential, deepening and broadening cooperation with the economy but also with society as a whole, pursuing transdisciplinary and innovative approaches and using possible synergies to achieve these goals. The Kommunikations.Hub draws on the results of the first call for proposals "Awareness and Accompanying Measures" of the first funding period of the STC. In addition to already established measures within the terms "networking", "knowledge and technology transfer", especially the work package "innovation space" offers new projects. The further training offers - "Transfer Hubs" - designed in cooperation with the WTZ Ost offer spaces of opportunity in the thematic fields of "Post-Grad Life" and "Innovation Matters".

Colours take on a variety of functions in our everyday lives. The perception of the world, nature, things and all artefacts "in colour" seems self-evident to us. Colours are systematised, catalogued and traded as material means.

The students approached the design through different parameters: For one, the starting point was movement, for another the material, for a third the form or even the target group, and for the last the function. Courage! and laziness! are terms that the various objects proudly trumpet to their future users.

On the design of everyday life: As part of the design project "I (discover) the table", eleven students of the subject Design: Technology.Textiles asked themselves questions about eating together. How do I eat? What do I eat? Where do I eat? With what do I eat? With whom do I eat? And how do the others eat?

With the beginning of the winter semester 2018/19, the Mozarteum University gets four more top-class professors*: Martin Grubinger for Percussion Instruments - Classical Multipercussion Instruments, Benjamin Kammerer for Piano and Piano Didactics in Innsbruck, Johannes Maria Staud for Composition and Corina Forthuber for Design: Technology.
