Design × Science

Showcasing doctoral design research at FAD STU

The exhibition DESIGN × SCIENCE at Designblok ’23 presents a curated selection of six exceptional doctoral design research projects from the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava.

TR1MTAB.com is a communication and networking platform founded by Michala Lipková, whose aim is to actively seek new industry partnerships and accelerate design-driven technology transfer & multidisciplinary collaboration across STU’s faculties. The concept of functioning as a ‘trimtab’ is based on the American inventor Buckminster Fuller; who believed that small actions deliver global impact. Under the tagline Prototyping Change, the platform aims to contribute to systems-level change toward more sustainable and just futures.

The exhibition system designed by František Dorko and Martin Sombathy uses residual SymaLITE® boards from the automotive industry, exploring opportunities to close open loops of local production in Slovakia.
