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. […]
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 […]
The “Magic Circle” symposium is carried out by Forschungskreis of the Weißensee Kunsthochschule berlin (khb) in cooperation with “Matters of Activity”, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Jörg Petruschat. It aims to further develop the exchange between the knowledge cultures of the natural sciences, engineering […]
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 […]
Our latest research entitled SELF-SHAPING TEXTILES – A material platform for digitally designed, material-informed surface elements, in collaboration with Dr. Lorenzo Guiducci (Matters of Activity. Image Space Material, Cluster of Excellence at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) has been published at the eCAADe 2020 conference. Full paper […]
On the 16th of March 2019 an exhibition on “Potentials of technical, intelligent textiles + smart materials” opened in the Wasserschloss Klaffenbach in Chemnitz, where a prototype from the Seminar “Self-Shaping Textiles” at the Weissensee Kunsthochschule Berlin is exhibited. The prototype of a 3D printed textile […]
SELF-SHAPING TEXTILESPotential of 3D printing for the design of performative textile structures Dates: Summersemester 2017 Institution: Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin, Textil- und Flächendesign Supervision: Agata Kycia Participants: Nayeli Vega, Anja Demuth, Xingwen Pan, Otto Lemme, Nelli Singer, Rebecca Theresa Schedler, Malu Lücking, Aleftina Karasyova, Jung eun Lee, Pamina Weiß Cooperation: TPL […]
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 […]
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 […]
Ongoing research on surface articulation using CNC-milling manufacturing processes. Various fabrication strategies are applied to doubly-curves surface geometries in order to increase efficiency of the production and integrate limitations and constraints of the machines into the very early stage of the design process. CASE STUDY_01 Fabrication […]
