faces – everywhere

/

December 7th, 2018

/ Manuel Kretzer

This is a book about faces in everyday objects. It is also a book about planting trees – since 100% of the profits will be donated to a tree-planting charity. Most of all, however, this is a book about discovering and using one’s personal tools and abilities for something that matters. The quality of these pages is not in what they display, how they look, or what they generate, but rather it is in what they represent: turning something trivial into a method of action. This is our planet, this is our future, and this is our chance to design it the way we want it to be. The trick is to not succumb to the overwhelming helplessness we are confronted with, but to do what we understand as right and towards that which we care about. We don’t all have to take the exact same measures, such as eating vegan or cycling to work – but we should all do something – since everyone can make a difference.

Digital Crafting Book

/

April 6th, 2018

/ Manuel Kretzer

In einer Zeit, in der die Grenzen zwischen digitaler und realer Welt zunehmend verschwimmen, sieht sich auch die Disziplin “Design” mit einer Reihe an neuen Herausforderungen konfrontiert. Einer dieser Bereiche ist das Feld “Digital Crafting”, das sich mit der Vermittlung digitaler Entwurfs- und Produktionstechniken und der Konzeption und Gestaltung daraus resultierender Manifestationen befasst. Machen, experimentieren und Prototypen, das Erfahren von Grenzen und Möglichkeiten und die wechselseitige Beeinflussung von Entwurf und Objekt sind grundlegende Bestandteile dieses Themas.

Architecture of Play

/

May 5th, 2014

/ Manuel Kretzer

Abstract
The aim of this paper to highlight the enabling powers of participative architectural design strategies and thus leaving space for uncertainty and surprise, with a particular focus on the work of Responsive Design Studio, a young emerging practice based in Zurich and Cologne. The playful synergies that can result from a constant dialogue between designer and user, object and function and the successful application of digital design and fabrication techniques as new, encouraging tools rather than dominating drivers are exemplified in a number of international projects that the studio has realized within the past few years.
