Each year, dieDAS invites a selection of international fellows from the fields of design, craft, architecture, and related interdisciplinary fields to visit our campus and research, design, and experiment.
During their residency, fellows present their independent practices and develop a new project, individually or collectively, related to that year’s fellowship theme. Over the course of the program, as a group, fellows focus on one integrated topic of social relevance—defined by that year’s artistic director—through workshops, lectures, discussions and more led by accomplisheddesigners and architects and with the support of outstanding international mentors. Moreover, fellows are introduced to and study the historical context and connotations of our site. All dieDAS fellows are provided with orientation, advice, workshops, and other resources.
Participating fellows are nominated by members of our esteemed international network andselected by a committee of design and architecture experts.
As the historic buildings and grounds in Saaleck are restored and renovated over the next two years, the concurrent fellowship programs will be held in a shorter workshop format. After restoration is completed in 2027, dieDAS will annually offer up to 16 international fellows a four-months-long residency from mid-May to mid-September.
