Summary:
Dare experiments! The book documents the teaching philosophy developed at the chair of experimental design by Frank Stepper and his team at the University of Kassel. The approach places an emphasis on fostering and developing aesthetic and formal imagination through experimentation. Thinking the "impossible" helps to formulate architectural concepts that progress beyond predictable causalities and functional constraints. For the emergence of innovative designs and novel construction typologies analogue models are augmented with computational strategies and digital fabrication methods. 20 Years of teaching Experimental Architecture, from introductory to thesis level projects Experimental videos with QR code links With contributions by Hitoshi Abe, Marie Therese Harnancourt-Fuchs, Steffanie Hennecke and others
Experimente wagen! Spielerische Experimente wecken die ästhetische und formale Fantasie der Studierenden: Der Ansatz legt den Schwerpunkt auf die Förderung und Entwicklung der ästhetischen und formalen Vorstellungskraft. Das Denken des "Unmöglichen" hilft, architektonische Konzepte zu formulieren, die über vorhersehbare Kausalitäten und funktionale Zwänge hinausgehen. Für die Entwicklung innovativer Entwürfe und neuartiger Konstruktionstypologien werden analoge Modelle mit rechnerischen Strategien und digitalen Fertigungsmethoden ergänzt. Das Buch macht die Lehrphilosophie, die Frank Stepper und sein Team am Lehrstuhl für Experimentelles Design an der Universität Kassel entwickelt haben, allen Kreativen verfügbar. 20 Jahre Lehre "Experimentelle Architektur" vom Einführungsstudio bis zur Masterarbeit Experimentelle Videos mit QR-Code-Verknüpfungen Mit Beiträgen von Hitoshi Abe, Marie Therese Harnoncourt-Fuchs, Steffanie Hennecke und weiteren Autoren
