DR M. HANK HAEUSLER
Project Involvement JANUS the Animal M. Hank Haeusler completed his studies in Architecture in 2003 at The University of Applied Science in Stuttgart; where he received a Postgraduate Diploma in Architecture in October 2003. He has also studied at Tokyo Institute of Technology in Tokyo, Japan and at the Technical University in Delft, The Netherlands, primarily focusing on architectural theory. Haeusler has worked in architectural practices in Germany, the United States and Australia, including Kauffmann Theillig & Partner, Transsolar Engineering and Murphy Jahn Architects. He finished his PhD at SIAL under the supervision of Professor Mark Burry in October 2007. His research focused on the design of a Spatial Dynamic Media System for an interactive spatial communication through a 3D light grid to design a content driven dynamic surface in real-time. He has taught different studies at RMIT University School of Architecture and Design and has been a guest lecturer at several national and international universities. Furthermore he worked as an assistant of the Professor of Innovation Mark Burry as a coordinator for the Digital Design Center and as a coordinator at SIAL for the exhibition 'Gaudi unseen' held at the German Architecture Museum DAM in Frankfurt in August 2007.
From March 2008 Haeusler is based in Europe where he will be employed at the University of Applied Science in Stuttgart, Germany as a lecturer and as a PhD secondary supervisior at RCA Royal Collage of Arts, London / IED Industrial Engineering Design.
His media consulting office City Lights Architecture Store/CLAStore combines his research interests with application in praxis. » Curriculum Vitae Spatial dynamic media system – Amalgam of form and image through use of a 3D light-point matrix to deliver a content-driven zone in real-time
--------------------------------------- The core research-question is:
When weaving together architecture and electronically applied and managed imagery, are their respective properties successfully interchanged to the extent that they mutually create a new architectural zone in constant flux, generated and regenerated through content that never stands still?
I have undertaken four projects to develop my research hypothesis. I have developed a prototype system which, with the use of a 3D light-point matrix, alters space. The prototype system has then been applied in an architectural context, tested by applying ‘designed’ content to it. Lastly I have experimented with writing software ‘applets’ for a third party to adapt their own input for display purposes. I argue that with such a prototype system, a shift from an autoplastic determinated architecture to an alloplastic indeterminate architecture is possible [Goulthorpe, 1999]. This is a significant shift for architecture beyond the scope of a single PhD. I have concentrated within my area of expertise: media and architecture. By experimenting with a prototype system and limiting the scope of my research to examining the shift from auto to alloplastic architecture, I can consider whether this shift can be achieved through the manipulation of content alone and not rely on the appearance and status of the associated hardware.
