Surfaces are shaping our everyday life and influence our perception. Accordingly, their conscious design crucially contributes to the discriminability and qualification of spaces and places.

The project provides the opportunity for an advanced engagement with the creative potential of surfaces and constructions. Within the scope of impromptus building on one another and brief designs the particular means of texture and surface feel, of shadow play and constructive image shall be examined.

In order to do so, various manual and digital techniques of design and representation will be tested and practiced, ranging from casting techniques to 3D scanning to 1:1 implementation of prototypes.

The appointed techniques serve to develop design ideas, to refine variants and – at the interface of studio and production- to communicate with specialist planners and producers.
