Alexander Sahoo (ID) and Peter von Maydell (DM) are offering a joint, cross-program course: Students from Integrated Design and Digital Media are invited to contribute to the development of urban bicycle culture through their diverse experiences, perspectives, and methods.
Four topics are available to choose from:
1. Cargo bike
2. Fun or play bike
3. Pimped or show-off bike
4. Bike with an unusual drive system
The social, political, ecological, or design aspects typically associated with bicycle culture may play either a central or a minor role in addressing these topics.
Bicycles can be modified, enhanced, or altered. Add-ons, accessories, equipment, or even body-related products can be designed and prototyped. If the necessary skills are present, it is also possible to build complete bicycles. The projects should be rideable and/or “erfahrbar” by the end of the lecture period. For students of the Digital Media program it is also a possibility to address the topics with purely digital or digital-electronic products.
