EM2 Recoding the Obsolete: Ecological Graded Alpine Additive Manufacturing

Course No.: 848188
Teaching: Georg Grasser & Marjan Colletti

The Alps are a dynamic, living entity—a slow, beautiful performance in deep time. They breathe, shift, erode, and grow while being overlaid with layers of decaying human infrastructure—historical avalanche defences, ski lifts, and hydropower structures—now out of sync with climatic, ecological, and social realities.Recoding the Obsolete begins with these found sites, treating obsolete structures as material reservoirs and frameworks for intervention. Using multi-material additive manufacturing, students will reimagine remote production chains to metabolize … more

EM1 Alpine Futures: Regenerative Design for Resilient Landscapes

Course No.: 848155
Teaching: Georg Grasser & Catalina Tripolt & Peter Massin & Theresa Uitz & Daria Smakhtina

Das Entwurfstudio widmet sich der radikalen Auseinandersetzung mit der alpinen “Schutzhütte” als einer Architektur am Rand der Bewohnbarkeit. Anhand bestehender Hochgebirgshütten sollen Konzepte der Umnutzung, Transformation und Reparatur entwickelt werden, anstatt Neubauten zu planen. Ziel ist es, angesichts von Klimawandel, Materialknappheit und ökologischer Verantwortung Strategien des zirkulären Bauens, der Materialintelligenz und Ressourcenschonung zu erproben. Die Hütte wird dabei nicht als Komfortzone verstanden, … more

Postdigital Nature of Planet B

Postdigital Natures of Planet B is a large-scale, robotically 3D-printed 1:1 installation made of recycled plastic and other bespoke biodegradable materials. It proposes artificial-natural, physical-virtual, technological-botanical hybridity as metaphor for a future vision of a more intricate rapport between architecture and nature I the Anthropocene. It does this by exploring ambiguous overlaps and interfaces between the natural, the virtual, and the built environments. The installation was developed for and exhibited at the ARS Electronica Festival 2022 by the PDNB research … more

Km 0 Architecture

Grow/Print Your Own Building

Team: Marjan Colletti, Peter Massin, Georg Gasser, Mümün Keser, supported by Catalina Tripolt

‘The term km 0, or 0 km, was derived from the Slow Food movement. As a clear counterpoint to fast-food chains, the idea of the movement is to promote the consumption of local ingredients, reducing the distance between producers and consumers. With this mission, it seeks to reduce damage to the environment caused by monoculture and the emissions of carbon dioxide/consumption of fossil … more

TRIOPIC SPECTACLE @ARS Electronica Festival 2021

Postdigital Neobaroque Transmedia – PDNB

As part of an ongoing process of diversification, as well as a contribution to the decentralisation and democratisation of the digital, Triopic Spectacle* seeks to dissolve the hierarchies between the real and the potential – a radical concept that can be traced back to 17th century baroque thinking.

Exhibition date: 09.09.2021 – 12.09.2021
