KI als Designmedium? (2025)
KI als Designmedium?Eine kritische Betrachtung der KI-bedingten Bildgenerierung im Produktdesign (2025) Dieser Artikel von Daniel Grünkranz von FORM SOCIETY reflektiert den Einsatz von bildgenerierenden KI-Systemen im Produktdesign.

Diese Analyse basiert […]
Aspects of the Theorisation of Ruins (2025)
Authenticity, Paradox and Reflection. Aspects of the Theorisation of Ruins by the Use of the Example of the Moselle Position (2025) This paper examines the intersection of fortification architecture and ruin theory through the lenses of authenticity, paradox, and reflection.

The relationship between architecture and technology is based on […]

Architktur und Bewegung (2013)
Architektur und Bewegung: Mensch-Architektur-Beziehungen im Wirkungsfeld architektonischer Systeme (2013) Architektur und Bewegung – der Bewegungsbegriff ist hier weder Metapher für architektonische Formensprachen noch steht er für dynamische Vorgänge innerhalb digitaler Habitate im Zusammenhang mit architektonischen Entwurfsprozessen. Vielmehr nimmt Bewegung einen existenziellen Charakter an. Sie manifestiert sich anschaulich in der menschlichen Aktivität, die in enger […]
