Material Exploration and Transformation Design
PROJECTS
Eco-Social Design
A region in transition.
The region of Peenetal/ Loitz in Mecklenburg Vorpommern represents the point of origin for new dynamics towards a regenerative future. In cooperation with the citizens and companies, the actors of the Stärke:re:form Project are facing the challenge of accelerating social and ecological change in the rural region.
Speculative Design
This speculative design project is about the human impact on earth.
​In an imagined future, novel rocks – originating from human activity – will be mined.
Three material samples foster speculation about potential future substances: Are they “natural” or “artificial” materials?
Matter-Centered Design
This project accentuates the importance of appreciating the vitality and agency of matter.
The goal of the Cycle of Vitality is to collectively redefine and redesign humans' relationship to the nonhuman world. It is an attempt to learn to understand the nonliving’s way of communicating with us again.
Designing Tacit Knowledge
Wavelet is a product that interacts with us. It is a swimming aid to learn the crawl breathing technique. Without mentioning the technique explicitly, it navigates us in our movement and helps us internalizing it.
Eco-Social Design
The touring Heimatmuseum is a social room to reflect and discuss the topic of homeland and one‘s perspective of Heimat, intending to facilitate a transformation into a more sustainable, conscious perception of Heimat – our planet.
