Have a look at some of the impressions from the MasterClass workshop “Thread by Thread, Bit by Bit”, which took place at the School of Form, SWPS. In this experimental design workshop we explored how robotic needle felting can be used to design customized nonwoven […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
