His work bridges engineering precision with artistic spatial conception, contributing to the academy's project-based educational approach where students engage with real clients. The Muthesius Academy, as Schleswig-Holstein's only art school, emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration with approximately 630 study places across Fine Arts, Art Teaching, Scenography/Interior Design/Spatial Strategies, Communication Design and Industrial Design programs.

As a Diplom-Ingenieur, Ziercke brings technical expertise to spatial design education, focusing on practical simulation technologies and presentation methodologies that support the academy's mission of merging theoretical knowledge with creative production. His position as Lehrkraft für besondere Aufgaben reflects a specialized German academic role for professionals providing industry-relevant instruction in specific technical domains.

Within the institutional structure, he participates in the academy's commitment to diversity and interdisciplinary collaboration, contributing to an environment where students from over 30 countries explore art and design through workshop weeks and international symposia. The academy's small cohort size (maximum 20 students per semester) facilitates personalized instruction in spatial strategies that Ziercke helps deliver.
