Synergy of digitally driven computational
design and Artefact in the making
This thesis aims to augment the product and the
processes of multi-‐constrained and digitally
driven computational design. This is achieved by
extending the design exploration from digital to
physical context and towards Artifact in the
making.

of concrete through the use of computer-‐aided 3D
printing technology. The goal of the project is to
evolve concrete as an architectural expression and
improve its function in society and use as a
construction material.

SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT WORK
2014: Public lecture of Achim Menges chaired
In April 2014 I organised and chaired a lecture by Achim Menges (ICD Stuttgart,
April 2014), at Architecture and Design Center Stockholm. The event was
organised in collaboration with Stockholms Arkitektförening.
2013: Public lecture series curated
In the fall 2013 in organised a Design and Research lecture series at the KTH
School of Architecture. The lecture series featured young researchers from
practice and academia presenting their research within the field of
computational design.
Speakers:
• Brady Peters, University of Toronto
• Karola Dierichs, Institute for Computational Design, Stuttgart
• Anne-‐Mette Manelius, Danish Technological Institute, Copenhagen
• Martin Tamke, CITA, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture
in Copenhagen

Research Supervision Course
In 2013 I attended and successfully finished the Research Supervision Course
(LH207V Research Supervision, 3 credits ) which is tailored for Research
Supervisors at KTH.

TEACHING 2012 -‐ 2014
Seminar: “formwork performance”, Master level, spring 2014,
KTH School of Architecture, Oliver Tessmann
Concrete is everywhere, however, the way we design and build with it lacks
innovation. Resources, energy and architectural potentials are wasted because
concrete processing is stuck in the industrial logic of endless repetition and
serial production.
In the seminar we investigated concrete formwork systems that allow for
variation. Kinetic and material properties were carefully explored through the
use of computational design and digital fabrication. We sought for novel ways to
process concrete in architecture in order to respond to the socio-‐economic needs
for a diverse living environment that consumes less material and energy while
adapting to various local contexts.
Lecture: Design Engineering lecture “It’s not about analysis…”, April 2014,
First year students, Oliver Tessmann
The lecture gives an introduction to collaborative design procedures of
architects and engineers. Structural parameters are presented as design drivers
in the early design process.
Jury member at HafenCity University, February 2014
Jury member at HafenCity University Hamburg (HCU). The HCU offers joint
projects for architecture and engineering students embracing design, analysis
and construction. I was invited as a jury member to assess the project (Ein
Hochhaus für Hamburg) of the interdisciplinary teams of students tutored by
Prof. Dr.-‐Ing. Annette Bögle.
Design Studio 9, Master level, fall 2013, KTH School of Architecture
Jonas Runberger, Oliver Tessmann
Studio 9 explores computational design techniques, material systems and digital
fabrication in architecture. In the fall 2013 we designed tension-‐active cable
networks and discretized surface systems and analyzed their material
performance. The design research served as basis for:
• designing the our working environment with 1:1 prototypes, fabricated
by the students in the Digital Fabrication Lab.
• designing pedestrian infrastructures that host various architectural
programmes. Two sites in Stockholm were explored. Principles from the
previously studied material systems were transformed into the
architectural design proposals.

KTH School of Architecture Östermalmsgatan 26, 10044 Stockholm.
Design Studio: Architectural Technology Research (ATR) Studio
“Fabricating Landscapes”, Master level, 2012/2013, KTH School of
Architecture, Jonas Runberger, Oliver Tessmann
The ATR Studio applied the notion of landform buildings as presented by Stan
Allen, to a large-‐scale research facilities in southern Sweden. Using digitally
supported design strategies students developed a visitor centre for the European
Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund.
The technological focus was put on fabrication, both as a tool for design
development on a landscape scale, and as means for production of large and
small scale structures. Various principles of fabrication, production and
construction were developed in the final output, as integral parts of
comprehensive architectural designs.
Seminar: “Topological Interlocking Assemblies”, Master level, fall 2012,
KTH School of Architecture, Oliver Tessmann
Topological Interlocking Assemblies (TIA) unfold structural capacity by
kinematically constraining and interlocking elements. In the seminar we
investigated various fabrication principles and materials to manufacture TIA’s
and migrate them from material science into architecture.
PEDAGOGIC DEVELOPMENT WORK
Curriculum development
In spring 2014 I was part of a strategic group for the development of the
architectural technology curriculum in the Bachelor and Master program at the
KTH School of Architecture. In a series of expert seminars we identified the
technological knowledge and skills we believe our students should be equipped
with as they leave KTH.
In spring 2014 I attended and successfully finished the Teaching and Learning
Course (LH201V, 7.5 credits ). The course teaches curriculum development
driven by a student learning perspective.
