ST. STEPHANUS | CHAPEL NORTH ANKLE
CHURCH IN UPPER AUSTRIA
In 2012, the western area of the southern aisle was transformed into a memorial for the deceased from the parish and stillborn children according to a concept by the design studio Lucy.D.
The baptismal font, which bears the year 1288, was moved to the northern aisle. Around ten years later, in 2021, Lucy.D was commissioned to redesign this area as a baptistery and place of confession.
Placing church rituals and the Catholic sacraments in a contemporary, open context is the goal for the interior design planning of LUCY.D.
The center of the baptistery is the baptismal font made of Adnet marble with the bronze lid (Peter Dimmel, 1969). It defines the spatial center around which three new benches made of limed oak are positioned. They offer equal space for devotion towards the place of confession, towards the newly hung Crucifixion group on the west wall of the aisle and towards the north wall.
For the redesign, the bench block erected in 1969 was removed, the existing place of confession was moved from the north wall to the east wall and redesigned, and the crucifixion group was moved from the east wall to the west wall. The design includes redesigning the objects for the sacrament of baptism, a place for the three holy oils and the place of pronunciation for the sacrament of confession. Another task is to subtly integrate the new objects into the overall ensemble of the church. The spatial arrangement follows the clear structure of the aisle and thus emphasizes the visual axes in and out of the aisle. The new furnishing elements made of whitewashed oak refer to the church pews from 1969 and continue the design concept in terms of material and surface effect of the memorial site.

CREATIVE ROBOTICS | ARS ELECTRONICA | Linz (AT)
"TRIO" is exhibited at the ARS ELECTRONICA Center in Linz!
Trio is a stool that was inspired by contemporary, architectural structures. It consists of three identical pieces, whose fabrication is optimized to balance manual and machinic labour. As the code is fully parametric, every chair can be very efficiently individualized. As an experimental piece, the stool aims to evaluate and demonstrate our considerations in regards to materials, dimensions, proportions, and tectonics. The result is a beautiful furniture object, whose efficient fabrication is only possible through the use of a robotic arm.

AM ENDE: ARCHITEKTUR | Time travels 1959 to 2019
Center for Architecture Vienna (AT)
Opening: 5 October 2016, 7pm
Robotics found their way into architecture and creative industry. Robotic arms were developed as universal machines similar to the human hand, equipped with an array of tools. A change of tools transforms a milling robot within minutes into a 3D printer, a CNC drilling machine or a completely new yet unknown machine.
The research project “Robotic Woodcraft“ a cooperation between the University of Applied Arts, Vienna and the Association for Robots in Architecture and the design studio Lucy.D. research innovative practices in the woodworking industries. For this project, e.g., a monitor blind Monitorblende mounted on a robot is created. Such an object could not be produced at a reasonable cost with standard industry tools. The robotic installation interacts with the visitors and shows a curated selection of videos. The projects shown illustrate the way in which the use of robots can create novel approaches in architecture and design.

HOW TO CRACK NUTS – AN ANALYSIS
Nuts to be eaten can be cracked in many different ways. A nutshell in its form is a small architectonic wonder. It possesses its own inherent natural logic of the best way to crack it in the most efficient way. In our search for tools for utmost efficient nut cracking we went back as far as the stone age. Our new nut cracker will be based on this analysis. Stay tuned for more to come…

MY TIME | INSTALLATION
RADO STAR PRIZE 2015
Rado Boutique, Kärntnerstrasse 18 | 1010 Vienna (AT)
We addressed the question whether it was possible for a subjective sense of time to manifest within an object.
“My time” consists of a wave-like structured wooden disk, rotating around its own axis while mounted on a delicate structure, a bit like a grandfather clock. The disk model especially created for the object “My Time” was milled by a six-axled industrial robot and crafted in the course of a research project Robotic WoodCraft at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna.The installation is exhibited from July 14 to 31st in Vienna, Kärntner Strasse 18.

CAFÉ LANDTMANN | VIENNA (AT)
26 September to 10 October 2014
The LANDTMANN COLLECTION is presented for the first time: cakes for various occasions like birthdays, weddings or company events. The idea is to purely enjoy the cakes´ delicious flavors and optics. Developed together with Landtmann‘s fine patisserie we gave the old classics like Esterhazy cake or Landtmann cake a thorough facelift. Clear design meets the high art of patisserie, so to speak. We definitely eliminated things like figurines made of marzipan and other confectioner´s embellishments. As their temporary stage the cakes were set up in the winter garden of the Landtmann coffee house.
