Zwei Kreuze und zwei Möbel Realisierungsprojekt für die Christuskirche Heinsberg  Zwei Kreuze und zwei Möbel wurden nach Entwürfen von Studierenden unseres Fachbereichs für die Christuskirche in Heinsberg realisiert.Die Realisierungen entstanden in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Kirchengemeinde in Heinsberg.In einem studentischen Realisierungswettbewerb innerhalb der Projektwoche in Kooperation von Prof. Fissabre und Prof. Matcha entstandenviele verschiedene Entwürfe, […]

Wabentheke

Elementiertes großformatiges Möbel in 3D-Druck, gefördertes studentisches K1 Projekt. Die Theke wird als erstes studentisches Projekt auf dem großen 3D Drucker des Fachbereichs mit 1 cbm Bauraum gedruckt. Das filigrane Möbel ist aus transparentem Filament gedruckt.Die Waben bilden die Struktur der Theke und bieten dabei Ablagefächer.Die Formen der Waben sind für die Nutzung und den […]

Words into Space

Acute Poetry

When is Architecture poetic ? How does and can it become so ? An experimental student design and research programme which adresses these questions through sculptural studies, spatial installations and design projects. Günter Barczik together with Yvonne Wahl of the Chair of Sculptural Design at Cottbus University. Video of the final Vernissage by Irina Hoppe. […]

From Object to Process

Algorithmic Design Techniques Buildings are not developed as fixed objects but as parametrized processes where architectural designs emerge from the intercation of program and context like plants from seeds in the ground.Experimental design projects at Cottbus University, together with Winfried Kurth and Riklef Rambow. Presented at the 2007 International Conference for Education in Computer Aided […]

Digital Origami Reloaded : Prototype

For display at the Exhibition ‘Architekturteilchen – Modulares Bauen im digitalen Zeitalter‘ at the MAKK Cologne we developed the ideas from the Digital Origami trade fair stand into a more complex geometry with a more powerful Grasshopper Definition. Heike Matcha and Günter Barczik with Farzad Akhavan. The Grasshopper Definition was developed by Ante Ljubas.The Model […]

We conduct an experimental student design project that investi- gates new possibilities for architectural design obtained via large- scale 3D printing technology.We propose that the new digital technologies in modeling and manufacturing enable a much closer connection between desig- ners’ thoughts and their physical realization than previously pos- sible and thereby a more humanistic architecture.

Differentiated Continuity and Mutual Support

The two geometric operations of intersecting shapes with one another and unfolding complex shapes into flat patterns have through CAD software been changed from challenge to triviality. Thus, combinations of shapes that have eluded designers for the difficulty of their handling are now at the hands of everybody who is able to use common CAD […]

Shifting design work from production to evaluation: an evolutive design tool

In an experimental student design and research project where architects and computer scientists collaborate, we are developing an evolutive design tool that seeks to facilitate a shift in the focus of the process of designing architecture: away from the production of design alternatives or options towards an evaluation of semi-automatically generated ones. > publication

From Body Movement to Sculpture to Space

We present and discuss an experimental student design and research project that investigates how architectural design can be enhanced via immersive technologies. Specifically, by employing not a 2D interface for designers’ thoughts, but a 3D interface and thereby activating the whole body instead of merely head and hands. > publication
