Architecturally, parallels to the criteria of New Buliding are striking, such as the regular rather than axially symmetrical exterior facade of the harbor station, it´s interlocking horizontal and vertical structure or the rhythmic order of the ribbon windows. Howeverclear breaks also became apparent. For example, although a steel skeleton is present in the structure of the harbor station, it is concealed by a classic perforated facade and thus not used as a stylistic design element.

From the jointly developed perspectives on the building history of the harbor station, the seminar developed a narrative that is essentially divided into three thematic areas. Firstly, the architecture of the harbor station can only be understood in the context of comparable buildings from the 1920s and 30s: Modern transit spaces are juxtaposed with central examples of New Building. The second key object of investigation was the urban planning context, which is closely linked to the industrial history of the region and whose presentation traces the planning development of the city. Audio stations offer an insight into the literature, art and sociology of the early 20th century.

The exhibition display quotes aspects of the architectural styles dealt with through the depiction of volumes and by picking up on rhythmic facade design. Materials from the museum's collection were reused for the construction of the exhibition. This form of upcycling is typical of Studio Umschichten, which developed the design of the exhibition display together with students.

The student-curated exhibition was created to mark the centenary of the founding of the Bauhaus and as a satellite of the exhibition IDEAL STANDARD. Speculations on a Bauhaus today was conceived in the form of a cooperative seminar between the Zeppelin Museum, Zeppelin University and Studio Umschichten.
