Our courses this semester: 
EXPII NODES
.
In this intensive one-week seminar, together with Prof. Arne Berger and the Master of Media Engineering, we explore the world of computational design and digital fabrication using advanced tools like Rhino, Grasshopper, and 3D printing technologies produce innovative connector systems. You’ll work in groups to design and fabricate functional prototypes, with potential for large-scale applications. This hands-on seminar is ideal for those with basic Rhino and Grasshopper skills who want to push the boundaries of design and fabrication.

Date: September 10, 2024
Time: 10:00 AM - 13:00 PM
Location: Materiability Research Group, Dessau, Department of Design, Building M, Room 201-204

Join us in exploring the future of design, art, and architecture through innovative approaches to bio-fabrication, sustainability, and living matter. This free event brings together educators, researchers, and practitioners from various German schools and institutions to share their most recent work at the intersection of biology, technology, and design.

The symposium is organized into three sessions:

Session 1: Green Innovations // features presentations on robotic 3D printing with lignin and thermoplastic starch, and bioregional architecture and design practices.

Session 2: Organic Futures // examines the potential of designing with fungi, mycelium applications, the three-dimensional growth of living materials, and artistic research with biomaterials.

Session 3: Redefining Sustainability // focuses on non-machines as a concept for understanding life, the ecological footprint of footwear, and current topics in sustainable design.

We invite all who are passionate about sustainable and biotechnological design to join us for this event.

Participants: Anhalt University of Applied Sciences (HSA), Technical University of Munich (TUM), Kassel College of Art (KhK), Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle (BURG), Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM), Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Folkwang University of Arts, Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG)
