International Workshop Week







Whether Amsterdam, Berlin, Frankfurt, London - or Basel. Change is perceptible anywhere and the future does not just happen. Instead, it is actively shaped by us. Having visited more than 200 trend pioneers with Zukunftsinstitut Workshop GmbH in the last 10 years, we have learned that new organizations offer a foretaste of the future.

All of us keep innovating and hacking through our lives to fit in the products and environments that are structured and permeated by design gaps and biases depending on where we are on the matrix of domination. Learning from the design and data justice literatures, participants of this workshop will be addressing the design oppression of everyday objects by acknowledging the multi-layered relationship between power, design and social justice. Turning the theoretical and experiential knowledge into a design project through hacking as the design method, the participants will be expected to prototype their designs through a variety of prototyping techniques to realize their hack by the end of the process.

Blender is known as a 3D package, but it's so much more. Its development, the tools it offers and its community make it one of the most unique and fun apps out there.

Hybrid Materialities is a project that promotes hybrid approach to design, production and representation of spatial artifacts that is shared between human and other entities, like machines and materials. It circulates around metal and clay as materials known since centuries and currently being rethought through digital transformation and for their sustainability performance. Fabrication-aware digital design strategies allow to use deformation of recycled metal rods and 3d printing of clay to open up novel and thoughtful design system and expression. Following the logics of digital craftmanship, we utilized both automated and manual production means, to merge machinic precision and human sensibility and knowledge. Lastly, the project resulted with a physical exhibition presenting digitally designed and fabricated small-scale prototypes of perforated interior walls, along with AR supported, full-scale, site-specific scenographic implementation of developed systems.
