Entering the universe of possibilities / by Marie-Therese Harnoncourt-Fuchs -- Experiment in architecture, thinking the impossible / by Frank Stepper -- Experimenting with real world parameters / by Timo Carl -- In search of free space in the design process / by Stefanie Hennecke.

Summary: "The book documents the teaching philosophy developed at the chair of experimental design by Frank Stepper and his team at the University of Kassel. The approach places an emphasis on fostering and developing aesthetic and formal imagination through experimentation. Thinking the "impossible" helps to formulate architectural concepts that progress beyond predictable causalities and functional constraints. For the emergence of innovative designs and novel construction typologies analogue models are augmented with computational strategies and digital fabrication methods.
