E1, Fundamentals of Design (shape): “perceiving space“, is the main focus of this seminar. In Fundamentals of Design (E1), during the first semester of the bachelors program, spatial perception and visual intelligence are being trained. First spatial models are being developed from discs, volumes and poles. After different exercises which engage with perception of the real spatial environment, then in exchange of two- and three-dimensional techniques of representation more and more abstract drawings or models are being developed. The ability to compose, cognition, experience, comprehension, invention and finding of a space is being trained. The semester ends with a first scaled spatial design assignment which is presented in public.
E2, Fundamentals of Design: “Designing a space“, is the focus of this seminar. In Fundamentals of Design (E2) during the second semester of the bachelors program concepts for accessibility and functional-spatial requirements are combined with design principles like “addition“, “subtraction“ and “folding“, architecture develops. Therefor a spatial guiding principles are being developed which are put into context of alternative composition principles and with appropriate concepts for accessibility and material in different scales. Three small designs will be developed, of which at the end of the semester one will be selected in respect to color/material/light and further improved. The exercises are accompanied by four lectures on topics of „Perception“, “Spatial Composition“, “Choreography or Accessibility“, and “Atmosphere: Light & Color“.
Extras: Further events and activities of the bachelors program are a first semester workshop „White Welcome“, excursion within the module E1/2 and classes like “Entwerfen 5“ E5 as well as elective subjects in the 5th semester.
E789 “Entwerfen“, Design: : In the master´s program design topics with the headline "Design and Build" are paramount. In combination with ongoing research projects, topics like "Öko-Lodge im Ituri Regenwald", „Raum Plus”, „Forschungspavillon für das FFIN”, “SpacerFabric_Pavillon“, the competition “Blaue Lagune“ (competition urban mining), “Suitcase Architecture“, „Infocenter für die Internationale Bauausstellung 2027“ etc. have been offered in the past. The topic is design, planning and detailing including constructing the whole project or parts in scale 1:1 by the participants of the seminar.
The Elective subject “Sondergebiete des Materials“ (special domain of material): This is about research and elaboration of materials and their application, which conserve energy or produce energy and at the same time have a great design potential. At the end of the semester the theoretical knowledge will be tested with a small, constructed application. WP Leicht SpacerFabricKokon
Thesis: Exemplary assignments from years before are i.e. “VelotelX“ (2018), “Pier F, Osthafen Frankfurt“ (2015), “Hauptverwaltung Würth Künzelsau“ (2012), “Bad Berg, Stuttgart“ (2009), “Outletcenter, Frankfurt a. Main“ (2006) etc.. Additionally supervised design and thesis projects, which are proposed independently or by colleagues. Besucherzentrum Kap Arkona UB 2025

ReFaTex - Reversible, foldable, energetically effective 3D-textile for construction
Funded Research Projects
The research focuses on material development, the application of materials and the design of building components in the architectural sector. These should be energetically sensible and at the same time demanding in design. Overarching topic is sustainable architecture with special focus on textile based lightweight construction and building integrated photovoltaic.
Research Project 6dTEX 6dTEX: Lightweight components made of 3d textiles in combination with 3d printing (2021-2023)
Research initiative Zukunft Bau
6dTEX deals with the combination of two process technologies that were previously considered separately. The synergetic combination of the production of 3D textiles and 3D printing processes is being investigated. The aim is to gain insights into new lightweight construction applications in architecture by optimizing technical 3D textiles in combination with additive 3D printing processes.
ge3TEX – Gewebt, gewirkt, geschäumt: 3D-Textilien für die Gebäudehülle (2018-2020)
Research initiative Zukunft Bau
ge3TEX engages with structure differentiated mono-material for the building envelope. Goals are recyclable, compression and tension resistant as well as insulating lightweight construction components for the building envelope, with high fire safety characteristics and low expenditure in assembly. Combinations of a material group are being investigated: Basalt fiber with aerated concrete, glass fibers with expanded glass and PET-fibers with PET-foam.

CATO Gmbh & Co. KG
Development of new textile based portion walls: In the course of a material study and subsequent application of a prototypical Element is being investigated, which advantages result for interior construction by applying technical textiles; technical and creative in relation to weight, assembly and design.
ReFaTex - Reversible, foldable, energetically effective 3D-textile for construction (2015-2018)
IFOFO Förderlinie Großprojekte
Development of reversible foldable elements for energetic optimization of building envelopes in the opening area: Investigating the suitability of elements made of three-dimensional textiles for the application in the area of solar protection.
3DTex - Textile lightweight wall element (2015 - 2017)
Research initiative Zukunft Bau
Development of textile lightweight wall elements by applying three-dimensional textile technologies and textile joining technologies for the application as self-supporting, ventilated facade or wall elements in the field of renovation and new construction. Spacer fabrics (this means multi-layer textile bar stock) are the main focus.
Foamed Textile Structures (2013-2014)
Forschung für die Praxis
Material development for lightweight applications in the architecture field: Composite material made of spacer fabrics (textile) and inflated or foamed material, in each case from sustainable raw materials for pre-fabricated, tailored, foamed spaces or construction components.
MehrWerkstoffe (Symposium 2006)
Hessisches Ministerium für Umwelt, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz
Symposium about new materials in the building industry, which beyond their design potential possess an additional value, because they only need a small amount of energy for fabrication, contribute to energy conservation or produce energy.

Energizing Architecture - Design and Photovolatics (Architektur unter Strom - Photovolatik gestalten) (1999 - 2009)
Würth Solar GmbH + Technologiestiftung Berlin
Semiconductor materials are one of the few actual „smart“ materials. Due to their ability to convert light into energy they are a predestinated component for building envelopes. In the project Energizing Architecture or Architektur unter Strom, Photovoltaic is researched less as a technical installation, but more as an energy producing and design effective construction material.
