"By doing so, Heimtextil is addressing a topic that unfortunately is not given much thought at colleges and universities. Lifecycle management is a topic of great relevance for the future, particularly for new generations of designers," says Prof Jan Armgardt, designer and lecturer at Aachen University of Applied Sciences. The creative projects will be unveiled as part of a special exhibition in the new “Design live” area in Hall 4.2 and they will be judged by the public. On the evening before Heimtextil, 8 January 2013, the items on display will be judged by exhibitors and designers.

For the seventh time, the Campus special show will be focusing on young design from Europe's next generation of creative talent. In cooperation with bestofdesign.org powered by rooms for free e.V. based in Berlin, Hall 4.2 will host a special exhibition featuring leading European design colleges and universities. Students and graduates will be presenting themselves and their ideas for textile design to an international public. Alongside German colleges and universities, European academies will also be represented, including from Estonia, Finland, Poland, Switzerland, Slovakia and Hungary. As a non-European guest, Brazil's Orbitato University will be showing its work at a national pavilion.
