The Chair of “Techniques of Representation and Design” at the University of Wuppertal develops and teaches techniques for the computer-aided conception, visualization and materialization of architectural projects. We embrace a comparably broad range of topics inbetween disciplinary and technological themes.

“Pseudo Concrete Vaults” is an example of research projects that use digital design and production methods to investigate traditional typological and tectonic issues – with a twist. The object presented in the exhibition served as a “proof-of-concept” of the methods studied, but also as an investigation into the aesthetics and spatial consequences of vaults.
We would like to thank our esteemed colleague and curator Prof. Christoph Grafe for the initiation and invitation to the exhibition and the inspiring collaboration in the conception of the project.
