Marina Wachs — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 09:00:28 +0000

Ich bedanke mich sehr herzlich für den wundervollen Austausch mit Karin und Bertram Schmidt-Friderichs; Inhaber des Verlag Hermann Schmidt Mainz und mit riesen Erfahrung im Designen, nicht allein von Büchern, Gedanken und neuen Möglichkeiten an Erfahrungswerten, an denen alle teilhaben können.

Wie kann Design nachhaltig Zukunft gestalten, welche Prozesse und welches Medienmanagement – auch mit KI -, welches Wissen müssen / wollen wir erhalten und auf welche Art der Wissensvermittlung können wir der kommenden Generation Gestaltungsfreiheit eröffnen? … wie gestalten wir Freiheit innerhalb toleranter, diverser Kulturen und überhaupt: was ist Design in Zukunft?… viele Fragen, die wir diskutierten und die wir weiterverfolgen… – auch mit diesem fantastischen Medium des gedruckten Buchs, das wir mit in die Natur nehmen, in das wir scribbeln, poetische Gedankenschleifen eingravieren und und … Herzlichen Dank für diesen wertvollen Design-Diskurs Marina-Elena Wachs

Embodied experience first before designing with(in) AI

Marina Wachs — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 18:20:47 +0000

The scientific papers, reports and publications this year, 2024, will underline: It is our belief, we have to invest more in hands on designing, more in creative education, in ‚hand – brain coordination‘ and in the humanities in Europe, because this is the cradle and ressource for the economic existence – a resilient body.

See the graphic as teaser, a modified system of stakeholders to create the change and to support the complex problem solver we need for the future… please to hold on crafts knowledge in Germany and Europe and working in cross continantal integrated design together. And about the techniques, when ‚First embodied experiences before designing with(in) AI‘ is our demand, we have to be aware at this moment: please to shape the AI tools before they will shape us;) see you at EPDE Conference 2024 at Birmingham (UK) and at DGTF Conference 2024 at Lucerne (Switzerland) to discuss togehter the designing and co-piloting systems for a sustainable ressource… for the industries, the humans and the planet. thank you.

How to write a PhD in Design – a cakewalk?

Marina Wachs — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 02:39:44 +0000

In the year 2011, Prof. Dr. Marina-Elena Wachs published togehter with Prof. Dorothee Weinlich (Hochschule Hannover – Fakultät III Medien, Information, Design) the german / engl. title about:

– how to write a PhD in Design, what are the essential key elements about the doctoral thesis in design?

– what kind of logisitics, financial support, scientific frame… do you need to know … within the scientific space in design?

– in addition, in comparison to other European perspectives, comparing the classical path of the German doctoral thesis with the more practise based PhD in GB for example…

– this books gives you an overall helpful overview, in discussing the forms of PhD in Design.

– as well very helpful to respect the scientific design frame for answering the questions about: Design as a scientific field?

(Auf dem Wege zu einer akzeptierten Designwissenschaft, die bezugswissenschaftliche Fachbereiche nutzt, um auf wissenschaftlicher Ebene vergleichbar zu anderen Disziplinen im Diskurs anschließen zu können, ist dieses Buch ein weiterer Meilenstein: die strukturierte Promotion im Fach Design.)

The German Look at Design

The German Look at Design – advanced TEXTILE solutions

2015 / Prof. Dr. Marina-Elena Wachs zusammen mit
Prof. Ellen Bendt, Hochschule Niederrhein – FB Textil- und Bekleidungstechnik

The interdisciplinary project „The German Look – advanced TEXTILE solutions“, which had been presented in 2015, showcased a collection of several BA- and MA-student projects and research works of Master students, in the following topics …

The interdisciplinary project „The German Look – advanced TEXTILE solutions“:

I. Smart Textile and Mobility in Fashion: SMART FASHION („creative processing“) II. Luxury and sustainability: „White World“ III. Design concepts…for a better world IV. Textile Porcelain V. Smart mobility to go VI. Kids World – (textile) patterns connecting generations (and special groups in design)

THE CHALLENGE for the students existed in defining the typical character of each cultural design codes, in combination with discussing the terms „Luxury“ and „Mobility“, „Sustainability“ and „Smart Textile“ for example in Fashion AND automotive interior design for advanced design solutions for tomorrow. Forecasting trends in smart textiles, like the actual discussed terms about „Biocouture“ and „Green Smarts“, are only two small aspects about research projects in a new material world… „Upside downing“ in up-cycling design and redesign of handcraft techniques demonstrating the range of parameters in the case of sustainability… With the look at the German style and for example in comparing with Scottish- or Italian fashion design codes or with the craftsman’s knowledge, we will demonstrate „The German Look“ in connecting cultural heritage of fashion design and handcraft power with 3-D techniques…

The project „The German Look – advanced TEXTILE solutions“ – Expositions:

– Fashion Week Berlin: Bikini Haus Berlin January 2015 - TechTextil fair at Frankfurt: 4.-7. May 2015 - Mg zieht an, Mönchengladbach 28.-29. May 2015 - ITMA, Milano 12-19 November 2015

The beauty in design – Aesthetics and Functions

Marina Wachs — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 02:27:36 +0000

2017 / Prof. Dr. Marina-Elena Wachs
Hochschule Niederrhein – FB Textil- und Bekleidungstechnik

Design attraction and design codes stands in relationship to function and strategy concepts in business cases of fashion as well as in automotive design. At the same time we are living in a design dominated world, which gets new inspirations by changing production processes from the fourth industrial revolution.

Industry 4.0, that will transform design, operation, service, and manufacture of products. Generating design as „form follows function“, with the requirement, like Dieter Rams said, „less design as possible“ shows the timeless reasonable fact of classic style with focussing the end of natural sources. The demand on the beauty in design will never end. But what does „Beauteousness“ means in design in the year 2020?

The earlier definition of beauteousness during the renaissance time specified the term „beauteousness“ in relationship to proportion, which had been measured with length in combination with the development of creating central perspective in art, to focus a harmonious balance of creative elements.

Architects and theorists like Leon Batista Alberti defined a well proportion in balance, a harmony of elements to generate an ideal icon of beauty. During the 20s century architects like Sullivan and the Bauhaus school taught the beauty in design as forms related to timeless combinations of geometric forms.

The modern times opened the possibility to get new impetus of the beauty in design, when ugly design gets attraction: Umberto Eco asked about the beauty in ugly phenomena with the help of his book „on Ugliness“, which inspired the fashion scene. Now, during the 21.st century we have to consider that different parameters constructing beauty in design: sustainable requirements, bionic parameters and generated fashion are some examples. Beside the artistic and philosophical definition of beauteousness, the industrial process is generating beauty full forms: digital generating with special software allows to define new beauty full forms – new beauty full codes in product design. And beside this, the generated design creates new functions. Today we know, that only the combination of thinking and doing, in analogue with digital processes will fashioning the future in all design disciplines.

Keywords of the project: beauteousness, analogue and digital processing, digital drawing, Industry 4.0, fashion /-engineering, automotive /-design; sustainability: no waste, beauty of functions, aesthetic value, bionic design, generating fashion. Inspirations: Beauteousness of Nature -forms, Sportswear, Fashion and Icons of the 1990s, Photography, Nordic Countries and others
