Technical Design (TD) for browsing: New issue of TD magazine published

What does design look like when technology, creativity, and social demands come together? The second issue of TD-Magazin, the design magazine of the Technical Design programme at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences (THI), provides the answers. The so-called Coffee Table Book has just been published, with around 80 pages full of ideas, models, concepts, and perspectives.

What does an adjective look like? First-semester students make language visible – with self-developed "semants" (Photo: THI).

The current issue presents a selection of the best student projects from the winter semester 2024/25, including creative explorations of semantics, sustainable product developments, mechanical running machines, and an interdisciplinary home furniture project with a social focus. Both design processes and final results will be presented, complemented by atmospheric insights into everyday student life.

‘Our students don't just design forms - they design ideas for a changing world,’ say the editors and professors of the degree programme, Bernhard Rothbucher, Magdalena Ilieva, Erik Schneider, and Tom Siegel. ‘The magazine shows how creative thinking gives rise to concrete solutions - visionary, functional, and responsible.’

The magazine is aimed at anyone interested in design at the interface of technology, society and innovation - whether young prospective students or experienced designers from the field. It invites you to rediscover design: as a language, as an attitude, as a tool for tomorrow.

Curious? The current issue will be available from next week for €3 in room D019 - while stocks last.
