PRAXIS Pavilion Bendscape“
Afshin Koupaei
OKP, Innenhof, 1.UG, gravel yard
Opening, Friday, June 30, 5pm

PRAXIS Pavilion, each year, investigates the possibilities of utilizing machining techniques, not only as means of making but as a design apparatus. The students of Machining PRAXIS in Architecture” this year examined the possibilities of bending wood by the implementation of machining processes. They developed KERF and cut-through patterns and studied the wood’s behaviour in specific sections and formations. Based on their studies, they designed and built the BENDSCAPE Pavilion

Other Matter 2.0
Valerie Messini & Bence Pap
OKP, Ferstel-Trakt, EG courtyard

Does architecture always need to be physical? What ways of spatial expression, notation, extension and new awareness can be achieved and designed through media? And what role could AR play in (re)programming and extending space, in exhibition design, performance spaces or within the confinements of our own habitat? AR projects of students investigates possibilities of virtual and augmented space population through playful use of digital technologies. We will look at different approaches of immaterial architecture in order to develop ephemeral, audio-visual objects, structures or installations which stand in dialogue and emulate new experiences in relation to an existing architectural context. The seminar stand in collaboration with Sonar + D Festival in Barcelona where works will be exhibited in June.

With students from the I oA, Cross-Disciplinary-Strategies, TransArts, Transmedia Art, Digital Arts

ABSTRAKT, the architectural platform and student magazine of the I oA, is the exploration of thoughts and ideas through conversations with creatives inside and outside the university, mixed with a collection of recent works from our students to reflect the works and visions of this architecture school. The introduction of the third edition with the issues Artifacts” and Unfolding Visions” during the Festival allows us to showcase projects and encourage discussion not only to bridge the three studios and strengthen interaction, but also to share the institute’s efforts with the whole university.

Analog Algorithmic Aesthetics
Daniela Kröhnert
OKP, Schwanzer-Trakt, 1.OG, Aisle area
With works of students from the I oA and Industrial Design 1

The pen has always been an essential tool in the communication of architecture but has lost importance in the realm of digitalization; alongside the irregular, vivid and tactile qualities resulting from the physical world and its materialities.
In this course, students have the opportunity to explore (again) the vast potential for unique and individual expression through the use of generative programming and its physical manifestation by operating CNC drawing machinery.

Sense of Place

OKP, Ferstel-Trakt, EG Lichthof B

Sense of Place” showcases five diploma projects of Studio 1, Institute of Architecture, exploring the concept of place and its relationship with different agencies of people, nature, and architecture. The works range from investigating the intersection between artificial and natural processes in a construction site in Paris, to proposing a new form of collective living through the design of an interface between leisure and necessity in Berlin. One of the projects explores the potential of a hybrid winery and public space in London, while another investigates the way we experience and produce flavor through a taste factory on an island in Vienna. The fifth project highlights the impact of architecture on economic forces and is located in logistic parks in Europe. Overall, the exhibition emphasizes the importance of place-making in creating livable, and engaging environments that enrich our lives.
