Designing and producing objects increasingly entails digital tools and processes. In this Skills Course, we will zoom in and ask ourselves how the presence of the digital can manifest in material surface design. We will operate at the interface of digital-material design.
By activating surfaces and allowing them to narrate, we will take on an experimental approach. How are textures created through manufacturing processes?
Which textures are inherent in the material? We will get to know analogue and digital tools and their combinations: CNC mill, Grasshopper, shaper tool, band saw, AR headset and hand tools,…
Our explorations will be collected and made accessible as collaborative library.
The Fachkurs supports the project module „irreguLAB Y. Tree Fork Structures from Furniture to Spaceframe”, so we will be working with wood.
