Interview with Peter Stasek

Designer of the Day Interview

14 August 2018

One tries again and again to cover all areas of the desig: from the shape of a building to the interior to furniture design. For me, it has always been important to deal with topics that have not yet been commissioned. Only in this way can one go beyond the limits of reality so often established. However, it was always very interesting that after an imagination and the subsequent study of the topic then often followed by a specific assignment.

I believe that started as a child

The imagination is always at the beginning. The type of technical implementation is always secondary. It is possible to achieve the best results with the most primitive techniques (if you have no other option)

The imagination of the result is an accompanying effect throughout the entire development.

The space target is the destination.

At the moment, however, we are always working on several industrial plants under the aspect of a creative focus. But the realization of skyscraper with vertical farming would be the biggest challenge.

Always start on the basis of your own conviction and not be easily influenced by other opinions.

Keep moving, no matter how heavy the weights are.

Every day is different and it should stay that way.

Especially important is the technical development as support for new designer ideas. For this reason, one should always be the first to pursue the idea alone, regardless of the technical options to be used later.

Of course, first of all the overall appearance with regard to the expected function countsafter that, there is always a closer look at the execution or implementation of details. You can live with many styles of design when they are thoughtfully designed and implemented very well.

That's a good question.Sometimes it is better to stop developing certain things a little earlier.

I still believe in it:the size is not the scale! It is always misleading when some believe that one million cubic meters of concrete determines the size of the architecture! For this reason, I consider some smaller projects as much more important than the larger ones. But to answer the specific question: the Dental INN practice project has given me an important approach to all future projects.

Almost every day I ride a bicycle.I listen to music every day (mostly techno)I like hiking (Austria, Switzerland, Germany)And traveling is also very important to me:the main destination of this year is India

I think it is very important to stay relatively independent, even if this is not the easiest way. Only in this way you keep a clear head and can start almost anywhere without prejudice.

Always demonstrating free thinking seems to me the most important message. Only then can the others come to the conclusion that there is not only a passable way which is dictated by a superior power

Design Legend Interview

14 August 2018

My whole family consisted of architects and artists.
Thus my study of architecture at the Bauhaus University in Weimar was a logical continuation. Nevertheless, from the outset I have pursued an organic language of form, contrary to the scholarly form of the Bauhaus teaching.

After a long observation of the surrounding environment I came to the conclusion that only the organic language which is based on the evolution can be the real basis for a sustainable design = biomimicry.

In the creative work I have simply grown in...

Design as a biomimicry in the form of architecture, interior and furniture design.

Never stand still and always look for new things which are inspired especially in research and science.

I believe in a good designer is always the form and function in line, with a great designer is still the emotion as an increase.

If I can still admire a design after a long time as on the first day then it is for me a very good design with long-lasting value.

Good design is an important part of the culture of each individual. It can be interpreted as evidence of good taste, the already reached level of form understanding.

I would rather develop new forms of organically shaped housings which have very little to do with the present ideas. From these forms of housing I would like to develop entirely new landscapes, which in the form of artificial nature fit into the real nature and form a unity.

The implementation of an organically shaped skyscraper under all environmental aspects. The interior structure should be designed in accordance with the external form. The use of new materials and techniques like 3d print would be the prerequisite.

The Immagination of the Non-Touchable. The shaping of the light.

Hani Rashid, Massimiliano Fuksas, Zaha Hadid

I think so far only a few components of this concept exist until now. The final design concept is still in development ... It is intended to include the new understanding of matter based on Qunten's phisics. It should include the new understanding of materiality. Maybe with the help of holography, there should be no distinction between the real and unreal parts of the design.

With the help of augmented reality, everyone is given the opportunity to see what can be real expected. With this computing support, many things can be improved before it is implemented. However, the most important prerequisite for any development is always the idea which is born in the designer's head.

Nature caretaker

Design is the visible shaping of all properties. In addition to the functional correspondence, it should also be able to arouse emotions.

My wife Luana

Do not be distracted by anything and continue to build your own ideas.

Too many surrounding voices

In form of a moving animation

There are currently multiple requests for resort projects, as well as medical facilities.
There is also the chance to develop the design in the form of Biomimicry.

3d printed architecture on a large scale

Continuous quality as usual with a certain degree of increase

Through the understanding of the form language the feeling of commonness can be strengthened

3d printed pavilions as a wine testing facilities

Pharmacy Gate 4D - an intermediary architectural concept for the entrance hall of the German branch of Abbott, USA. This interior project was created in dependence on the company slogan „A Promise for Life“ and thus is able to express this company feature in the form of corporate architecture, amongst others with the aid of holographic projection

Even more freedom of form through digital fabrication

New means of transport, new forms of living and working

Some months to a few years

On the bike in nature

Imagination is more important than knowledge

The very good design developed by few becomes a massive imitation of the average

The technology is not the primary, this is only sought after the first idea exists

3ds Max, Cinema 4d, ArchiCAD, Photoshop

First the space must be defined in its 3d form, the surfaces at least partially as a continuation of the construction, the colors minimized best in the form of illumination

The first emerging idea

Perhaps this is the approach a bit to think about

Technicians with the same design concept

Some designers with a focus on 3d manufacturing

„The Day oft he Triffids“, John Wyndham

As group work

Pioneering Physicist John Wheeler

This is perhaps only a very small foundation stone as confirmation of what will be developed

Besides the non-colors, it may be neon green and orange, space with a wide view…, seafood, autumn, subwoofer, B&O

Sometimes you reach in five minutes more than in months. However, the first bet must always remain visible. Thus the first sketch with a "dumpling" as a central island in space becomes one of the best dental practices in Germany.

A good feeling to bring a new idea forward

When daydreams repress the reality

The real and not real world will form a unity

My firm conviction is that the information is the real building material of our universe. All visible forms serve only the confirmation of a train of thought in the human brain.

Designer Interview

13 August 2018

I wanted always to be a designer. For this reason I have participated since my youth in many drawing courses. Later I have studyed The Bauhaus University in Weimar and became an architect.

The architectural concept matrixX architectures has been developed by myself and represents an innovative concept for architecture projects taking into account organic shapes and natural structures. Next to the progressive materials, the digital fabrication is amongst the most important creative components. An additional element of this concept is the inclusion of AR (augmented reality) in the form of audio and video surrounding concepts as well as holographic projections for visual space and structure expansion. The functional implementation of the projects is marked by an individual building and interior design and substantially contributes to the corporate identity of the company in the form of corporate architecture. The most important clients of matrixX architectures by Peter Stasek comprise multinational groups from the fields of new business development, biotechnology and lighting industry, operators of healthcare facilities, shops, shopping malls and others. Another project line is the development of facilities for renewable energies and environmentally friendly waste management. The creative main features of the projects of matrixX architectures by Peter Stasek are environmental soundness, steadiness and sustainability. The architectural projects by Peter Stasek have globally been presented on numerous architectural and design platforms and published by international publishing houses.

The design is allways a visible concept expression, which is based on client requirements, reached designer knowledge and personal taste. The taste can always be improved but the taste feeling is not to learn.

I like to develope and shape forms which are based on wise theory as surce. This can concern very small projects until to rerraforming of big urban development areas.

My most favorite design is based on the connection between the tangible and intangible. For this reason exist many instruments, among others the holography or the sound design for architecture based on the measured material swinging.

Dental practice which design was based on the patient psychology.

All materials which can be used for 3d printing.

When I see a complex task which is to be define in form of design.

To expand the bounderies of content visibility for each viewer or user.

The emotion is very simple; to feel free!

It's never something new, it represents always the next step in form of materialisation of already existing imaginations and it is great.

To finde own concept based on a good theory and existing taste.

The judging is always a personal perception and this is so ok. The act of performing is a personal act and the judging act is likewise a personal act. The consideration of a design or art object can differ millionfold.....

This is a very big challenge. Every designer should use the most progresive methods under the responsibilities for the society and the enviroment. Only in this manner is possible to extend the story of the humanity (a little bit).

The future of design is the utilization of the simplest materials in connection with progressive technologies, e.g. in form of 3d printing.

One of my best solo exhibitions was in the Charles University in Praque.As a great recognition, I felt the invitation to the Architecture Biennale 2014 in Venice (Palazzo Mora).The next exhibition is expected to be in London next year.

The biggest inspiration I can find exist in the nature. This represent my most important creation feed.

My design is based on organic shapes which stand as counterparts to geometrical forms. I find this combination as the best kind of impression concerning my proposed style. I will never only create such forms which you can experiance e.g. within an octopus stomach. A little bit geometry need everyman.

Now I am living in Germany, but I feel to be anywhere. For this reason I think to be able to change my current location aginst others at any time... Sure I feel the heritage affects of the europe culture but I am thinkink to be prepared to assume also the parts of design perception of every alien. For this reason I would like to cooperate in the near future with some Martians. The most important part of every creation development is to feel oneself free. This is the ultimate ambition I know....

I cooperate with more companies concerning the design development, for example in the area of lighting design as well as of construction and building engineering.

It depends on equirements which the company expectants. The best selection backround are always playing the accomplished works as an undoubtful designer assessment.

The first right idea in form of a skech is almost the base for the finished design.

I have a very long shower time abot three hours daily for the reason of many interruption. The shower represent for me a thinking cabin and an important birthplace of many ideas. When an idea comes, I go to my work table and forgote complete to proceed the shower procedure for a long time...The next steps are following:working, meetings, working

To be never doubtful about your creations. Never change everything after a lost business or competition. The good own design development needs more time for oneself, less suggestions made by the neighborhood.

This is the game between to be successful or not. The positive is to use the possibility of self-portrayal. To make some imaginations come true. The negative is always to realize to be not able to come forward with any ideas ...

to be never in doubt about sth

imagination, drawing, 3d thining, taste

drawings, models, CAD software at the end

from task to task very individual

it is very individual because this depend mostly on the client, the buiding owner

I do not run statistics there

I think this happen just now...

global industries such as the Abbott Laboratories as well as many private clients which wont to be not named

the early development stage, the first sketches and the first working model

The development of new industrial buildings under the sign of corporate architecture. The development of a new style of clinics that should be more human.

The first design ideas are always develop by myself. For the further project elaboration I appreciate the contrubution of my team and other experts.

Here are some big projects that are still confidential. In addition to vertical farming, it also affects larger agricultural projects, which should focus on plant production under the latest environmental requirements.

I think that all creation processes have an unavoidable effect in terms of the quantum physical impact. Good ideas are stored in so-called morphogenetic fields. So the more good design we strive to develop, the more everyone else gets involved in the process and is indirectly influenced to improve their own tastes.
