This project was an interdisciplinary work between design and architecture students transforming a public space.
While teaching each other how different a design approach can be, we created a modular bus stop with innovative features. A booklet, self-made from scratch, and a scale model of our modular concept came along with it.

tado° ARCHITECTURE (incl. configurator and product catalogue) is designed to make the transition to energy-efficient, sustainable living achievable by bringing together all the necessities of heating technology into an integrated, accessible and flexible network that also offers a meaningful design outcome.

The topic of environmentally friendly, holistic living climates is thus approached in a sustainable way.

The goal was creating a befitting new appearance for an upcoming café at the Hochbunker Blumenstraße in Munich which is part of the Architekturgalerie München.

Since the AGM is thinking about a new name („Architekturzentrum München“), we created a new logo. It works for both the gallery-part and the upcoming café in one building. By utilizing transparent materials and soft colors, we tried to lighten the feeling of the bunker. The landmarked blue is used to show it‘s history. We provided an interior design look for the café.

The intention behind this design was to support the semester-closing exhibition „Life Time“ by showing every single project title, explaining the approach in running text and giving book recommendations for the visitors. Further elaborations of the students‘ projects can be found on small take-away informational flyers alongside the exhibits. Introducing an additional element, which focuses on the topic of „time and design“ as well, this exhibition graphic works as an exhibit itself.

My Creative Approach
With the DIN (mainly in Regular; in Bold for decorations), a familiar, very readable font is used, which guarantees reliable legibility, especially in the distance. It offers the necessary objectivity for the running text elements which are read at a distance of about one to two meters. The DIN is a sans-serif typeface reduced to its essential qualities in its manifestation, thus, looking static and quiet. This makes it easy to recognize for all age groups. Different blue shades are used to differentiate the large elements. The idea of the blue color comes from the concept of blueing which occurs with increasing distance or passing time.

The research and development project dealt with holistic product solutions for the functional extension of SCHOCK kitchen sinks. The aim of the project is the comprehensive consideration of the functional range through the development of new types of sink accessories. Through the user-centered research and working methods, a design of the products based on the functional and social needs of the users is achieved. Also to be taken into account are relevant market developments and trends that have an impact on the requirements of sink users. The technical implementation of the products to be developed forms a further focus.

Our Creative Approach
We found through surveys that the zone around the sink is used as a space for necessary accessories due to the need to be within reach. However, dripping water creates lingering moisture that makes it feel unsanitary.
Our storage surface, which can be customized by lowered grooves, picks up on the results of market analysis and interviews. It is adapted to the zone around the sink, grants airflow from all sides for dry utensils through straight ridges and allows the water to drain into the sink through a slope and the long lip.

In addition, we developed a future approach, which integrates the storage surface into the sink edge. Once with an additional backsplash, the other time with the surface offset downward.
