RE-USE of "architectural particles" exhibtion design

At superartitecture (facebook page) and Stephan Braungarth Fotografie the exhibition design and display system of "Architectural Particles" has been re-configured for fotoshootings, parties and exhibitions (i.e. Passagen Köln 2013)

 The modular display system has been created and developed by responsive design studio in collaboration with STUDYO architects and the MAKK - Museum für Angewandte Kunst Köln for the exhibtion "Architectural Particles - Modular Building Construction in the Digital Age" from May to August 2012. The exhibtion design was then already re-used for the "Köln Design Preis International" organized by the "KISD - Köln International School of Design" and MAKK.

Symposium Transmaterial Aesthetics in Berlin

Hans Sachs of responsive design studio has presented his paper "bended - material and process informed design computation" at Transmaterial Aesthetics Symposium in Berlin at the Aedes Network Campus Berlin, on October 2nd, 2013(see programm below). We especially thank Prof. Matthias Ludwig (Hochschule Wismar, Fakultät Gestaltung) and AA Dipl. Sandra Loschke (Faculty of Design Architecture and Building, University of Technology Sydney) for the organisation of the event. The symposium abstracts can be downloaded here.

In the Symposium Transmaterial Aesthetics various lectures of architects, designers and producers have been presented and discussed experiments with timber in architecture and technology.

Spatial Positions 5 - The Land Workshop

From 31.08.2013 - 22.09.2013 the exhibition "Spatial Positions 5 - The Land Workshop" at the SAM  Swiss Architecture Museum displays important steps the collaboration project "The Land", which is located in the north of Thailand near the town Sanpatong, twenty kilometres southwest of the city of Chiang Mai.

"The show itself functions as a workshop anticipating the realisation-phase planned for the year 2014. In addition, London-based graphic designer Zak develops a new alphabet for the Land Workshop that is based on the participatory logic of the "corps exquisite". Thus the concept of the exhibition reflects the different conditions of collaborating, exhibiting and building."

Final Presentation of "Folds & Spaces" at CIAD

Students of the the Folds & Spaces bachelor module present their conceptual and experimental works on a folded architectural structure which they developed during the summer semester 2013. 

 


One of the concepts will be chosen by a jury to be realized as "CIAD pavillon" in the courtyard of the faculty of architecture at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences.
Special guests will be Dipl. Ing. (FH) Klaus Wetzstein from 3A Composites AG , Gregory Epps - founder of Robofold Ltd., Prof. Andreas Muxel - chair of interface design at KISD and more...
The event starts at 16:00 Uhr (4 pm) in Room 323 at CIAD - Cologne Institute for Architectural Design (IWZ Altbau, Köln-Deutz)

The modul was kindly supported by 3A Composites AG

CurveCube

CurveCube is a very spontaneous proposal for a walk-through, human-scale pavilion made from corrugated cardboard.



The design connected two geometrical forms. Towards the outside it represented a closed cubic shape but merged into an organically appearing surface on the inside.

From the original project description (in german) "Architektonisch entsteht ein Spannungsfeld zwischen der Komplexität der Innenform im Kontrast zur formalen äusseren Kubatur in einem sich gegenseitig beeinflussenden und durchdringenden Formenspiel zwischen Klarheit und Vielschichtigkeit."

ALUphant

Strongly influenced by the original Eames Elephant from 1945 this piece of kids furniture was designed and prototyped early 2012. It was produced from 3M Alucobond and milled using a 3-axis CNC router at ETH Zürich's Raplab.
