Chick 'n' Egg 2012

We have revised the original Chick 'n' Egg Chair! The form has been improved for stability and comfort. The grasshopper script has been reprogrammed for speed and reliability to allow changes in size, material thickness or resolution of the waffle grid. And the machine setup has been setup for on demand production.

Still looking for a Christmas present? The chair can be ordered via email to shop@responsivedesign.de. Price available on request.

Modular Exhibition Design for "Kölner Design Preis International"

Most of the modular displays of the Exhibition "Architectural Particles" have been reassembled in various resulting displays, podiums and steles to present price winners of the "Kölner Design Preis International".


 

Bio Plastics Formfinding Workshop Cologne

At the Architecture Biennale PLAN12 in Cologne a bioplastics formfinding workshop, inspired and supported by the Materiability Resaerch Network, Superartitecture, Dingfabrik e.V. (FabLab Cologne), responsive design studio and architect Mauricio Rodriguez (MAS ETH) was held at the exhibtion space and studio of design and architecture office "Superartitecture".

Exhibtion Catalogue "Architectural Particles" available

Hans Sachs from responsive design wrote an article - "digital crafting" - about the design process and development of the exhibition's architecture.




















The catalogue also contains articles by Prof. Oliver Fritz from Adaptive Architektur , Dr. Petra Hesse, director of the MAKK and Aysin Ipekci from Studyo Architects, curator of "Architectural Particles" and a comprehensive overview of the exhibited projects and objects.

x_shelf

x_shelf is a generatively designed bookshelf, made entirely from CNC-milled Alucobond boards, that were folded into modules to form a self-supporting system.

Exhibition Design for "Architekturteilchen"

Responsive Design Studio developed and realized the exhibiton design for "Architecture Particles" in collaboration with Studyo Architects, Grossgestalten (graphics) and with kind support by Bayer Material Science and  Ligaproduction.

The exhibition design concept is based on a sphere packing method known from molecular structures of metalls, such as i.e. silver and gold. In the arrangement of non-overlapping spheres result octahedral and tetrahedral gaps. Based on these platonic solids combined with principles of generative design, a modular system was developed to present exhibited objects and projects on print media and integrated video screens. Our main objective was to develope a dynamic, recognizable design which refers to the exhibition theme and complys with the historic MAKK building by Rudolf Schwarz.
