The Object Design Cosmos Studios and Workshops

Immediately adjacent to the students’ spacious, bright studio spaces are a number of supervised workshops too – for woodwork, metalwork, digital processing and 3D work with ceramics, plaster and synthetics. Special emphasis is placed on the combination of manual skills and digital technologies.

Location

As of Autumn Semester 2019 all Design and Art study programmes will be relocated under a single roof in the former nylon factory in the Viscosistadt in Lucerne North. The immediate proximity of the eleven bachelor’s and three master’s degree programmes facilitates exciting exchanges and promotes interdisciplinary work.

Am neuen Standort in Emmenbrücke bilden Textildesign, Objektdesign und XS Schmuck zusammen mit ihren Werkstätten eine organisatorische Einheit.

Seit Herbst 2016 sind bereits die Hälfte der Studienrichtungen in einem umgenutzten Industriegebäude auf dem Viscosiareal in Luzern Nord eingezogen.

Metalwork Workshop

In dealing with the formal and structural aspects of metalwork, students gain insight into material properties; apply a range of techniques, such as welding, soldering, and forging; and develop their own working methods. By prior arrangement they can also use the workshop outside teaching hours.Object Design students are introduced to the use of the workshop in the first-semester module Material Basics: Metal.

Woodworking Workshop

An understanding for the diverse processing options using machines and tools is the basis for enhance the students’ own design concepts. To this end, the students are professionally guided and supported in the realisation of their projects. Object Design students are introduced to the use of the workshop in the first-semester module Material Basics: Wood.

3-D Workshop

Practical work in this case encompasses the modelling, moulding and casting, and processing and sculpting of malleable materials such as clay, plaster, wax and plastic, as well as the corresponding casting techniques using lost moulding forms or flexible forms. The 3-D workshop is normally open outside regular teaching hours to students with prior knowledge of the requisite techniques and materials. Object Design students are introduced to the use of the workshop in the first-semester modules Material Basics: Ceramics and Material Basics: Synthetics.

Digital Workshop

At the digital workshop, students have around-the-clock access to a large-format 3-axis milling machine, a laser cutting machine, an A0 digital cutter and a ceramic printer. Object Design Students are introduced to the use of the workshop in the third-semester Digital Workshop module.

Studio Life

The interactions in the studio between the students from all three years of the course with their different professional backgrounds, as well as the Object Design alumni, is one of the most important parts of the programme. The students not only learn from the lecturers, but also indirectly train each other. This culture of mutual appreciation forms the basis for a network in later work life.
