The Mexican Revolution

This comprehensive two-volume history of the Mexican Revolution presents a new interpretation of one of the world's most important revolutions. While it reflects the many facets of this complex and far-reaching historical subject it emphasises its fundamentally local, popular and agrarian character and locates it within a more general comparative context.-- Publisher.

Fold, refold. Deployable narratives and digital fabrication

Deployable structures are mobile constructions with a great variety of spacial peculiarity, extent and layout. The documented workshop “Digital Fabrication & Deployable Structures” investigates in their history and tests how those flexible structures can be digitally fabricated and parametrically designed using lasercutting technology. The resulting prototypes were developed in a collaborative process and furthermore functionalized by the embedment into a narrative. Abbaubare Strukturen oder “Deployable Structures” sind mobile Konstruktionen mit einer großen Varianz in ihrer räumlichen Ausprägung, Ausdehnung und Anordnung. Während des dokumentierten Workshops “Digital Fabrication & Deployable Structures” wurde erst deren Geschichte untersucht und dann erprobt, wie eben solche flexiblen Strukturen mittels Lasercutting Technologie digital hergestellt und parametrisch entworfen werden können. Die Ergebnisse wurden in Gruppen prototypisch hergestellt und durch die Einbettung in einen Narrativ mit einer Funktion belegt.

Fold Fly Inflate

Die Begrenzung der verfügbaren Ressourcen sowie die wirtschaftlichen und klimatischen Kosten von Energie führen unweigerlich zu leichteren Konstruktionen als notwendigem Mittel zur Verbrauchsreduzierung. In den dokumentierten Workshops „Flying Structures“ und „Fold Fly Inflate“ wurde untersucht und getestet, wie diese leichten Strukturen digital hergestellt werden können und parametrisch unter Verwendung von Laserschneid- und 3D-Drucktechnologie entworfen. Die resultierenden Prototypen wurden in einem kollaborativen Prozess entwickelt. The limitation of available resources and the economic and climatic costs of energy inevitably lead to light constructions as a necessary means of curtailing consumption.The documented workshops “Flying Structures” and "Fold Fly Inflate" investigates and tests how those light structures can be digitally fabricated and parametrically designed using lasercutting and 3D printing technology. The resulting prototypes were developed in a collaborative process.

Fold Unfold : deployable structures and digital fabrication

The publication "Fold, Unfold : Deployable Structures and Digital Fabrication" is the documentation of the workshop of the same name hosted at TU-Berlin from february till march 2017 in collaboration with ETSAE Cartagena. The main objective of this seminar was to design and build different prototypes of deployable structures that can colonize a space to be inhabited temporarily. Die Publikation „Fold, Unfold : Deployable Structures und Digital Fabrication" dokumentiert den gleichnamigen Workshop, der von Februar bis März 2017 an der TU Berlin in Zusammenarbeit mit der ETSAE Cartagena stattgefunden hat. Besonderes Ziell des Seminars war es, entfaltbare Strukturen zu entwerfen und zu bauen, die Räume einnehmen können und diese vielfältig und temporär nutzbar machen.

Detect, React

The documentation of the seminar 'Scales and Methodology: Verticality' is dealing with the implications of verticality for the conception of hybrid typologies. Beside just the classical skyscraper needle, the seminar was interested in exploring aspects like principles of stacking, the relation of depth in plan and building hight and structural limits and solution. Within this broader scope of questions, the selected study cases covered different aspects of the topic. More precisely there were these projects to be studied: CCTV Headquarter in Beijing, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Downtown Athletic Club in New York, Edificio Copan in Sao Paulo, NL Expo Pavillon 2000 in Hanover, Sendai Mediatheque...

CA²RE+ 3 – Frameworks of Design-Driven Research

After the six conferences for artistic and architectural research CA²RE+ has contributed substantially to the fact that design-driven research today is a widely established and scientifically accepted research method on most European countries and the number of involved universities is an indicator for a rapidly growing community in the field of practice-based research. This big effort has meant an interchange of knowledge and at the same time the construction of an international net with very valuable connections. We have created a collective learning environment where we have developed a multidisciplinary approach to a design-driven methodology on scientific research along six steps: obse...

CA²RE Berlin Proceedings: Conference for Artistic and Architectural (Doctoral) Research

The fourth CA²RE, the Conference for Artistic and Architectural (Doctoral) Research has been hosted in September 2018 at the Institute for Architecture of the Technische Universität Berlin, in association with the Architectural Research European Network Association (ARENA), the European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE) and the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA). CA²RE intends to bring together senior staff and early-career researchers to improve research quality through an intensive peer review at key intermediate stages. It contributes to the diverse fields of architectural and artistic research such as environmental design, sustainable development, interior d...

Cut Place Extend : Berliner Ring

CoLab is a Collaborative Design Laboratory. Its goal is to investigate those transfers which shall exist between design strategies and new design processes employed in contemporary industry, to apply to the design practice and architectural representation, employing a collaboration model based on collective work. During this semester CoLab students had to project a continuous building along an existing transport infrastructure, the S-Bahn-Ring in Berlin. Each group had to design a slice of a common 37 km-long project. CoLab ist ein gemeinschaftliches Design-Labor, dessen Ziel es ist, jene Schnittstellen zu untersuchen, die zwischen Entwurfsstrategien und neuen Gestaltungsprozessen in der zeitgenössischen Industrie existieren, um in der Gestaltungspraxis und architektonischen Repräsentation ein auf kollektivem Arbeiten basierendes Modell anzuwenden. Ziel des dokumentierten Bachelormoduls war es, ein durchgehendes Gebäude entlang einer real existierenden Infrastruktur, dem S-Bahn-Ring in Berlin, zu entwerfen. Hierzu sollte jede Gruppe ein Stück des gemeinsamen 37 km langen Projektes entwickeln.
