Profile

Our design approach focuses on the professional user from industry. When developing technically sophisticated products, we integrate design and engineering in order to obtain innovative overall solutions, which often fundamentally challenge the status quo. In doing so, we work both creatively and systematically as well as in a designing and researching way.

Team

The Junior Professorship in Industrial Design Engineering consists of an excellent team of young and experienced members of staff with competencies in all early design and research phases. It has been headed by Jens Krzywinski since 2012. When necessary, the team can be strengthened through the outstanding network of the exceptional research environment and rich landscape of creativity of Dresden.

Locations and facilities

We can be found at two locations – at Kraftwerk Mitte and in August-Bebel-Straße – in the heart of the creatives and in the middle of art and music pedagogy. Both locations are therefore perfectly suitable for their respective thematic focus. Further co-operations, i.a. with Makerspace and FID complement our resources and enhance our opportunities.

Industrial Design at TU Dresden

With roots reaching back as far as the 1950s, the Junior Professorship in Industrial Design Engineering is the oldest design chair at a technical university in Germany. Since 2012, the latest team is conducting research and teaching on »Industrial Design Engineering« at two locations. Our profile focuses on the human-centred development of products and product-service systems for professional contexts. We are hereby supported by the Dresden research landscape – which is unique throughout Germany –, by the interdisciplinary opportunities of the only comprehensive technical university in Germany and by an excellently equipped School of Engineering Sciences with the faculties of Mechanical Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science as well as by our charitable organisations.
