Print it out! Architecture from the 3D printer

In the latest episode of the ArchitekturFunk Podcast Kerstin Kuhnekath discusses novel ideas on 3d printing in architecture such as Scan – Print – Assemble in which printed pieces serve as new connections between existing and reused elements.

DDU researchers Nadja Gaudilliere and Max Eschenbach will present our research paper “Printsugi – Matter as met, matter as printed” tomorrow, 05.07.2023, 15:15 at Fabrication Futures Session in the Scientific Track of the UIA World Congress of Architects 2023 in Copenhagen.

We are very excited to welcome Tenure Track Prof. Thomas Wortmann as well as Marco Tamborini for our third guest lecture within this semester's series. Next Tuesday, 27.06.2023 17:00 h in our RoboLab.

10 years UNESCO World Heritage

From 21 May and until 17 September 2023, Hessen Kassel Heritage will be taking visitors to Wilhelmshöhe Palace on a virtual journey back to the origins of Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. The exhibition “Bergpark reloaded” shows, among other things, a virtual insight into the actual construction plans of Landgrave Carl and thus offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in a cultural landscape of superlatives. The digital model of the Bergpark was created in cooperation with the TU Darmstadt, Department of Digital Design, and provides a fascinating insight into this gigantic baroque building project.

TU Darmstadt and Deutsches Technikmuseum bring Berlin architectural icon to life virtually

In a joint project, the Department of Digital Design at TU Darmstadt and the German Museum of Technology have developed an immersive 360-degree tour of the historic Anhalter Bahnhof – a Berlin icon. The project is part of the “dive in. Program for Digital Interactions” of the German Federal Cultural Foundation, funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) in the NEUSTART KULTUR program.

DDU will host Additive Ceramics on May 16, 2023 at 17:00. The design duo Maurice Riegler and Lennard Wilde combine 3D printing and traditional craftsmanship to design, produce, and market beautiful tableware and home furnishings through their website. Anyone interested in hearing more about their story is invited to join us at RoboLab (Room 333).

Thanks to sponsorship: Project for the reconstruction of synagogues in the Rhine-Main region starts at the TU

Darmstadt, 15 February 2023. Since 1995, the Department of Digital Design at the Technical University has been virtually reconstructing synagogues that were destroyed during the Nazi era. The project is now to be continued with an in-depth look at the Rhine-Main region. Places of worship in Darmstadt, Mainz and Frankfurt are to be digitally restored. The aim is to show the cultural loss, the beauty of the synagogue architecture that once existed in Germany. In this way, the project contributes to the commemoration of the Shoah.

Our team member Samim Mehdizadeh, researcher and PhD candidate at DDU, will present his recent research at the University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA) Chair of Digital Design on February the 15th! Find out more about rotoforming, the Animate Concrete designs and choreographies by attending!
