Building Register – Craft and Production
The study trip will be focused on visits to various production sites, workshops and factories to gain better insight into the production processes, the materials and the people who endeavour to transform raw material into objects of beauty and usefulness.
We will visit manufacturers who produce at different scales: From industrial ceramic production in Laufen to art production in St. Gallen. We will be introduced to different materials such
as glass, aluminum, wood, ceramics and stone and familiarize ourselves with their processing, accompanied by experts so that we can understand the individual production steps from material to processing to the final product.
Part of the seminar is to gain knoweledge into the way material behave and the way of processing and maufacturing effects them. To do this, you will record the production process in drawings.
An axonometric drawing should represent the production process as a whole so that the relationship can be understood.
Individual work steps should be visualised in the form of more detailed axonometric drawings.
At the end you will create a booklet that documents the history, the workshop, the material, the production process up to the finished object and the aspect of sustainable production.
The booklet consists of short texts, axonemetric drawings and carefully edited photographs.
Please come prepared for the excursion and familiarise yourself in advance with the workshop you will be assigned to.
