Module Project
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:38:24
Abstract
The Core Module focuses on existing, industrially built objects in need of repair or retrofitting (repair project) on which CAS participants actively work to develop their model projects throughout the duration of the program.
Objective
The aim is to develop a scalable interdisciplinary repair strategy for a repair model. Participants will be able to reflect on their strategies from the perspective of sustainability and adapt their projects accordingly. They learn to design concepts, develop them strategically and implement them in prototypes.
Content
Participants work in groups to develop strategies for the sustainable maintenance and repair of the different elements and components which constitute the object. They apply and critically integrate knowledge gained from the accompanying modules to develop concepts which contribute to extending its lifespan, preserve existing qualities, and improve long-term repairability.
