Workshop @KOGE

Riccardo La Magna and Simon Schleicher from the ITKE are going to collaborate with Günther Filz from KOGE – Institut für Konstruktion und Gestaltung at the University of Innsbruck. Together we’ll be teaching two workshops on “Formfinding Processes” and “Idea & Realization”. Our goal is to explore the potentials of bending-active structures by implementing our newly developed design and simulation tools.

Workshop @DSMB 2013

Join us! The ITKE is going to host a workshop at the DMSB 2013 on Bending-(re)Active Plates. The workshop will explore the formal and structural possibilities for bending-active plate elements by coupling design & FEM tools (Rhino – Grasshopper – SOFiSTiK).

Seminar WS2011 – Kinematical Folding I

This upcoming winter semester I will be teaching a seminar on “Kinematical Folding”. Therein, I will give an introduction into bending and folding mechanisms ranging from traditional origami to technical deployable systems. For more information click here to see a more detailed course description.
