Project description

At the heart of this research-based solo exhibition lies Michael Braun’s dissertation on digital craftsmanship. The work explores how craft principles—especially processuality and the productive handling of deviations—can be integrated into digital design processes. The developed concept of Deviation-driven Design (DDD) does not view material deviations as flaws but as design-relevant elements within iterative design and fabrication workflows. This approach is practically examined, documented, and translated into a design methodology through experimental case studies in robotic 3D printing with porcelain.


 


During summaery2025, selected artifacts and multimedia reflections will be made accessible to the public.
