Dare more experiment! The book documents the
teaching philosophy developed at the chair of experimental design by
Frank Stepper and his team at the University of Kassel. The approach
places an emphasis on fostering and developing aesthetic and formal
imagination through experimentation. Thinking the "impossible" helps to
formulate architectural concepts that progress beyond predictable
causalities and functional constraints. For the emergence of innovative
designs and novel construction typologies analogue models are augmented
with computational strategies and digital fabrication methods.
