About
Daniel Springer is an architect, educator, and artistic researcher based in Berlin. His studio practice is called Fragmentographic Studio (Frag.Studio) through which he reflects a transdisciplinary and pluriversal approach to designing, making and thinking within rapidly changing working environments. A “work-in-progress”-aesthetic and the notion of “sculpture” is in the center of his architectural and artistic practice.




Fragmentography is the creative process of using artistic research in a transdisciplinary way by working with what’s there or left behind.”


 

Studio work
 eco-inspired designs and appropriations for
    – exhibition displays,
    – temporary installations,   
    – public art works,
    – other ephemeral structures and spaces
with an unorthodox approach, improvisational aesthetic, and occasional dark twist.
