Each working group will implement the insights gained from the research in a workshop, providing fellow students with inspiration for their own design process:
The respective working groups implement the findings from their research in a workshop. This provides the students with inspiration for their further design process: The idea of “deriving many different constellations from one structure” (Gerstner, Designing Programs) is tested on-site: Do the developed rules actually set the given gray areas in motion? Do the new constellations achieve the desired different effects?
→ Create several groups of 4×4 elements from the 16 given grayscale areas. Each grayscale element must be used once. Choose one of the resulting patterns.
→ Quadruple your selected group of area elements. Combine these four groups into a grid of 8×8 areas. You are free to choose the method: by repeatedly rotating, mirroring, translating, etc.
→ Develop a rule that allows you to modify your 8×8 grid. For example, every second area element can be swapped with the next. Finalize your final design.
