On Crime, Design, Storytelling and Walter Gropius / Natascha Meuser

Architecture Off-Centre

Twenty students at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences developed ideas for crime stories to shed new light on the workers’ estate designed by Walter Gropius in Törten between 1926 and 1928. Led by Professor Natascha Meuser, this unorthodox approach to teaching helped the students gain a deeper understanding of the world-famous row houses and became the genesis of ‘The Törten Project: Murder and Crime Mysteries from a Bauhaus Estate’. Natascha Meuser is an architect and publisher based in Berlin. She is a professor of design at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences and leads DOM Publishers. Natascha has extensively authored books on design methodologies and drawing for architects, along with several publications on the history of architecture and zoology.
