Summary
Rupert Maleczek, born 1975, received his Architectural diploma degree from the University of Innsbruck in 2007, and finalized his PhD-Thesis about “Linear Folded Stripes” in April 2014 with excellence.
Ruperts PhD-Thesis opened up a new research field in folding and architecture.
He’s research interests lie not only in the geometric constraints of stripe structures, but also in the architectural-, spatial- and structural properties of the possible structures. His research is also focused on the relation between form, structure and digital as well as physical production. These interests lead to numerous large-scale prototypes that were generated through coding and then digitally fabricated.
The last years he worked at the university of Innsbruck at the Institute of structure and design (koge) founded by Eda Schaur. During he’s time in Innsbruck, he was Organizer of several Conferences and is co- publisher and author of several books and publications.
In Innsbruk he was involved in a technique described as research driven education. Here the students work in close relation and in a constant exchange with a researcher in order to learn state of the art research findings. He restarted at the Institute of Design /unit koge (structure and design) as senior scientist on a post-doc position.
Besides he’s research in folded structures, he has an interest in mobile and deployable architecture, in lightweight structures, self-organizing processes, physical simulation, digital production as well as architectural geometry.
He is founder and publisher of Archispass.org, an architectural blog, mainly written in German, that had in his best times 60.000 unique visitors per month.
He is co-founder of the architectural collective “Archiwaste”, that is active in various fields, from folded structures to cardboard as building material.
Rupert presents his research all over the world, and publishes as main author as well as co-author with various partners He is leading workshops all over the world, for example at the Shape to Fabrication Conference, at the AA-Summer School in Ivrea or at the Design Modelling Symposium in Berlin.
