Hedwig Wiedemann-Tokarz

Hedwig Wiedemann-Tokarz serves as a Lecturer at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences in the Faculty of Architecture, specializing in Interior Architecture. With a background as a practicing architect, she teaches courses including Construction and Finishing, Interior Finishing, Integral Finishing, Drywall Construction, and specialized color theory courses at both bachelor's and master's levels.

Her research interests focus on the intersection of color theory and spatial design, with particular emphasis on how color affects spatial perception and experience. She explores practical applications of color in architectural contexts, examining how color can limit or dissolve spatial boundaries and create specific atmospheres. Her work combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on application through student workshops and real-world projects.

Wiedemann-Tokarz's publications and teaching reflect a strong trend toward practical color application in architectural spaces, with recent works analyzing how color functions in three-dimensional environments. Her projects often involve collaborations with industry partners like Knauf Gips KG and Caparol.

She has supervised numerous student projects including the Light tunnel between the children's clinic and the Alice Hospital Darmstadt (2015), Design meets Function 2.0 at FAF Cologne (2019), and various color theory exercises. Her teaching approach emphasizes practical workshop experiences alongside theoretical instruction, particularly in drywall construction and color application techniques. She maintains an active studio practice (studio e_10) alongside her academic work.

Wiedemann-Tokarz leads practical workshops in collaboration with the Master School for Plasterers Heilbronn and has developed significant projects with students that have been implemented in real architectural contexts. Her work bridges academic theory with professional practice, particularly in the specialized area of color application in interior architectural spaces.
