Schaufenster

A design school should present itself the way its students actually work — as an open, browsable field of projects, not a navigation tree. Schaufenster (“shop window”) is the presentation website and backend I built on that conviction for the design department of my former university, FH Potsdam.

The site is an endlessly scrollable, zoomable canvas of student projects and portraits — you stumble onto things rather than search for them, the same exploration-over-search principle I had developed for large cultural collections. Although the canvas is generated dynamically, the site still behaves like a normal website: every view is linkable and the browser history works.

Built with Vue.js and PixiJS; designed in collaboration with Boris Müller and Franziska Morlok.
