BA Major Design Semester
2023/24 WS Lapa is a fruit smasher for kids that functions through a simple physics mechanism. The concept behind this design stems from the idea that, despite our constant pursuit of perfection, we frequently overlook uniqueness and imperfections. Lapa seamlessly combines simplicity and health-conscious choices.
A project made in the course
A is for Apple - From Fruit to Cultural Landscape
Vinschgau controversies and design perspectives. This winter semester, I wanted to encourage a group of interested students to rethink design in the context of the social, ecological and agricultural controversies of our time. (neuer Absatz!) As part of the A is for Apple project, we have explored the history of the apple as food, commodity and cultural plant, from cultivation to sorting as well as its storage, packaging and marketing infrastructure. In our research, we have analysed the conflicts and effects of intensive apple farming on ecosystems, the cultural landscape and tourism.
