This dissertation investigates the object-like ornament in architecture and examines its historiographic and contemporary constitution in design practice. The work is therefore both theoretical and applied. The topic of the dissertation, the ornament, is positioned at the heart of architecture and thus also amidst a cultural and technological debate, the social significance of which has become increasingly noticeable in recent years. The field … more
Prodigal Digitality – An Efflorescence of Fine Arts in postdigital Architectures
Team: Marjan Colletti, Peter Massin, Galo Moncayo Asan
„Super High-Res Assembly II – An Efflorescence of Fine Arts in postdigital Architectures“ wird sich thematisch auf die exzessive postdigitale Sanierung eines urbanen Bestandskörpers (Trägers) konzentrieren. Das Thema reagiert nicht nur auf ein akutes gestalterisches Ungleichgewicht in der gegenwärtigen Baukultur, sondern wird einen konkreten Vorschlag für ein postdigitales Bekleidungsprinzip erarbeiten. Beziehen kann sich die Bekleidung auf die Fassade oder auch auf … more
Ein Habitat für realvirtuelle Wesen
Team: Theresa Uitz, Peter Massin
Digitality has created two ideological worlds, one within (virtuality) and one outside(physicality). Architects traditionally design for the physical, but since the advent of digitality, they also design in the virtual. The physical is serious, and its design influences our environment significantly permanently. Virtuality, however, is playful and exuberant; its design is democratised and innocuous in terms of impact compared to the physical world. The boundaries between these two opposed worlds … more
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
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
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.

Increasing digitalisation has influenced and formed contemporary society in a way that our daily lives, as well as our cultural environment, have changed and adjusted. Digital technologies appear as self‐evident, neither being explicitly noticed as such nor critically questioned. This influences not only … more
Introduction into Typological Design Aspects of Building-Envelopes
Team: Thomas Mathoy, Peter Massin, Marc Ihle
Im Rahmen des Kurzentwerfen werden sich die Studierenden mit der Entwicklung eines Fassadensystems beschäftigen. Die gestalterische Artikulation des Systems soll funktional aktiviert bzw. interpretiert werden. Hierbei definieren die konkrete Gebäudetypologie, der spezifische Standort und die Fassadenausrichtung die wesentlichen Parameter.
Es wird der Zusammenhang zwischen Funktion, Fügung der Bauteile, Materialökonomie und architektonischem Ausdruck untersucht und anhand eines eignen Entwurfs und einer Modellstudie erprobt.
Ziel
Entwicklung eines Fassadenelements, … more
