SELF-SHAPING TEXTILES / PhD defense and publication
On the 14th of December 2021 I defended my doctoral research entitled SELF-SHAPING TEXTILES: Form-Finding of Tensile Surface Structures through 3D Printing on Pre-stressed Fabric at the TU Berlin.I would like to thank my supervisors and all the members of the doctoral examination board: Prof. […]

Bauhaus 4.0 – Fibrous Systems
Recent developments in computational design and robotic manufacturing open up new possibilities for production and materialization, challenging designers to reconsider the entire design-to-production chain. Initially developed for factory automation, industrial robots revolutionized creative disciplines where architects, artists and designers constantly push the limits of what […]

Dotted tiles
Handmade ceramic tiles designed by combining analog techniques such as clay forming and screenprinting with digital techniques for creating seamless patterns. This collection consists of three different triangular tiles which can be freely composed to create endless configurations. It is inspired by an older design […]

BAUHAUS 4.0
BAUHAUS 4.0 is a collaborative research project between Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin (Produkt Design, Textil-und Flächen Design und Künstlerisch-Gestalterische Grundlagen) and TU Berlin, Fakultät I Geistes- und Bildungswissenschaften, Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft Fachgebiet Pädagogische Psychologie. This project focuses on the development of new digital teaching formats for […]

3D printing from recycled waste /// Collaboration with The New Raw
In summer 2018 I had the opportunity to collaborate with Foteini Setaki and Panos Sakkas from ΤHE NEW RAW on the Second Nature Project, designing patterns for the artifacts 3D printed from the recycled marine plastic waste. Project was later exhibited by the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation in […]

SELF-SHAPING TEXTILES: Form-finding of tensile surface structures through 3D printing on pre-stressed fabric
Textiles have been used in architecture ever since humankind began to build. Already nomadic tribes have used their tensile strength, flexibility and adaptability to build their first shelters. Nowadays, the development of highly engineered fibers with growing strength-to-weight ratio as well as new production technologies […]

ISOpatterns
The following wooden panels are result of the material-informed design exploration. In this case both panels are fabricated using 3 axis CNC-milling machine in Multiplex pine wood. A doubly-curved surface cuts through different layers of wood and creates linear patterns with various color tones. The […]
