[ RICHDANK ]
the interweaving of art and architecture with/in the field of digital media is richard dank's (1975* in
graz/austria) main metier - scientifically and in practice.
collaborating with several architects, artists and institutions worldwide his oeuvre oscillates between designing and design - from graphics and videos, over installations and web applications, to construction and building -, always with the focus on algorithmic and interactive projects on- and offline. in the course of these encounters intense working residences and study journeys to america, asia and all over europe have been realized.
since 2000 he is working independently as
richdank.com, moreover, since 2007 as a partner in the architecture cluster
0704. he received his
diplomingenieur (master of science) in architecture from the tu graz in 2006 with distinction and has been visiting lecturer at different international schools since then.
beginning of 2015, after more than a decade at the
institute of architecture and media he left his teaching/researching position as fulltime universitaetsassistent (assistant professor) and has since concentrated on his freelance practice. in addition, he supports the
hiz zeltweg (wood innovation center) as an external expert for digitalization, teaches at the
graz university of technology and the
joanneum university of applied sciences in various study programmes.
