Building Art Invention

About

This trans­dis­ci­pli­nary plat­form for re­search and ed­u­ca­tion pools ex­per­tise from the fields of vi­su­al art, ar­chi­tec­ture, ur­ban plan­n­ing, in­ter­ac­tion de­sign, in­dus­trial de­sign, ex­per­i­men­tal physics and ma­te­rials re­search. It is ded­i­cat­ed to the de­vel­op­ment of in­no­va­tive ma­te­rials sys­tems at the con­ver­gence of art and sci­ence.

Through col­lab­o­ra­tive ap­proach­es root­ed in ac­tu­al prac­tice, artists, de­sign­ers and sci­en­tists test and de­vel­op meth­ods of pro­ject-ori­ent­ed work and co­op­er­a­tive plan­n­ing in the con­text of re­search pro­jects and re­search-ori­ent­ed study pro­jects. Mixed teams of stu­dents, teach­ers and re­search­ers estab­lish re­search ques­tions and ar­eas of in­ter­est, then elab­o­rate them via artis­tic/sci­en­tif­ic pro­cess­es.

Part­n­ers & Col­lab­o­ra­tions

We be­lieve in the pow­er of col­lab­o­ra­tion. Work­ing to­gether gets us fur­ther faster. We make bet­ter de­ci­sions be­cause we have more in­for­ma­tion and un­der­s­tand the per­spec­tives of our part­n­ers. We use re­sources more care­ful­ly be­cause we avoid du­pli­cat­ing what others have al­ready cre­at­ed.
