WEAVING WAVES
Textile Strategies for Material Design
by Prof. Christiane Sauer. 3pm-6pm. 7th July 2025. Rooms 408-409.
The workshop will focus on textile as a threedimensional structural and performative system. By crossing, looping, or twisting threads specific material properties can be designed and embedded into a fabric. The venue will feature a talk highlighting case studies from experimental design research along with physical material samples and a discussion.
Deactivating Waves: Reverberations between Design and Anthropology
For this year’s STADTLABOR FOR MULTIMODAL ANTHROPOLOGY: SUMMER SERIES 2024-2025, the ERC team has organised a series of events that explore the intersection between design and anthropology and the capacities of materials to shield, protect, insulate and condition spaces and places. In the workshops and talks we will investigate, from the perspective of design practice, how material interact with anthropology as a multimodal tool. during the semester, designers will share with us how they engage in wave-material research and how those waves particularly shape their design pathways and triggers imagination.
All events will take place at the Institute for European Ethnology (IfEE). Rooms 408-409.
