Parametric design is a process based on algorithmic thinking that enables the expression of parameters and rules that, together, define, encode and clarify the relationship between design intent and design response. A parametric model is thus based on a set of dynamic relations, which continuously inform and influence each other. The result is no longer a clearly defined form, but rather a flexible connection of parameters of the geometrical shape and numerical variables of these parameters for the description of the desired variant. A cuboid for example can be defined by the variables length, width and height, a cylinder by radius and height.

faces – everywhere

/

/

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

/

/

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.

The Shape of Music

/

/

‘The Shape of Music’ is a processing sketch attempting to reveal the anatomy of songs. The custom designed software reads the frequency and amplitude of a song at any given moment and translates them into geometrical information. The results are circular shapes varying in size and complexity, reflecting the full range of musical forms, from the deep structure of Beethoven to the chaotic beauty of John Cage.

The designs are 3D printed in plastic or other materials, such as steel, and will soon be on sale at Shapeways.

Digital Crafting KISD

/

/

In a 10 day workshop the students from KISD – Köln International School of Design have been encouraged to develop a design project based on a buttom-up design process – ‘material and process to form’ (instead of form first, material later) by experimenting with material properties and computer based processing techniques, such as 3D printing and CNC milling…

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 buy@responsivedesign.de. Price available on request.

All pictures were kindly made by Pix Fotostudio, Tübingen.

Cardboard Chaise Prototype I Quarter Iso Grid

/

/

This prototype chaise is modeled in Rhino 3D. The “Quarter Iso Grid”- Cutting Files are generated by a grasshopper definition which is inspired by Mike Sheldrake’s great iso grid cardboard surfboards. This prototype development is kindly supported by Mike Sheldrake (http://sheldrake.net/cardboards/), Oliver Fritz // CIAD – Cologne Institute for Architectural Design // Chair of CAD.CAM Tischlerei Bächer GmbH.
The prototype and further products and design studies of will be displayed at the DQE, Design Quartier Ehrenfeld at the “Passagen 2012” from January 16th to 22nd in Cologne, Germany.
