Our workshop makes use of urban spaces for design interventions made from found waste materials. Through our activities, participants are involved in generating value for our shared environment with some guidance, even when the source materials are considered \u201cwaste\u201d. To shift perceptions and revalue resources, we sweep the streets on bicycles with manual tools, transforming waste into functional objects right where we find it. The U.F.O.s (Urban Freestyle Objects), as we call the results, are then left in their original location, hoping to improve public spaces and trigger a thought process in ourselves and passersby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Konrad comes from Wienhausen, a village in the north west of Germany and he studied Industrial Design at \u201cMuthesius University\u201d in Kiel. Here he developed an interest for need-based forms of production, open design and commoning.

Maximilian grew up in Gaildorf, a town in the south of Germany near Stuttgart. After studying Product Design at the \u201cHochschule f\u00fcr Gestaltung\u201d in Schw\u00e4bisch Gm\u00fcnd he lived and worked for one year in Warsaw. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
