Die Konform

 

With a tactile approach which is focused on process rather than results, forces and modes of interaction between material, object and designer are turned into a productive moment. The method is characterised by creating continuous curvatures and shaping geometries dynamically through the use of an abrasive particle stream. Translated into an interactive concept for a digital tool, new design options emerge: a virtual abrasive particle simulation enables repetition, transfer and inversion of procedures within the form-finding process. The transitions which are the result of this erosive method create a self-evident form and an inherent aesthetic.
