One fine Wednesday evening, panic erupted throughout the Internet and messages were flying between confused students. The Bachelor students, note; not the Master students or both of the classes, but only the 20 or so Bachelor students of our studio, received an email from our Professor stating that he was leaving the studio and the University with immediate effect. He was not coming back. And he was not saying his adieus to us.
Without an explanation, without any respect for us as students, without any knowing of what would happen next, we were stranded without a Professor - in the middle of the damn term. So we waited a day. Nothing. No news from the University. No news from our teachers. Did we still have a class to go to? A studio to attend? Would we get our credits? Would we graduate? Nothing.
Not only did students choose the studio because of its Professor (a professor that just gets up and leaves!!) but "miscalculations" on the numbers of attending students in the beginning of the year resulted in three studios being cut out of the schedule - leaving students only to choose between mere four studios, causing well over packed studios.
Finally we got some clues of what was going to happen. We would continue. Just carry on as before, with our teachers there to lead us - see us through the term. And after that, there will be no more Studio Sauerbruch at the Udk Berlin.
