More about the project

The Odersun Solar Module Designer, designed and developed by Plural Kilian Krug and Markus Lerner, was awarded with the Red Dot Award.

The Module Designer and other award-winning works will be exhibited in the Alte Münze in Berlin between October 7th and 16th.

More about the project

The new Solar Module Designer for the German solar module manufacturer Odersun just went live. It was developed by Markus Lerner in collaboration with Plural Kilian Krug (Concept/Design).

It allows you to create customized modules for building facades by interactively changing the shape via drag & drop. The solar cells are dynamically fitted in order to achieve the best enery output. The layout of the cells can also be adjusted in order to create a unique look. Front- and backside colour printing can be applied as well as various types of glazing.

The results can be saved in the online gallery or exported as pdf or dxf files.

A large touch screen version of the Solar Module Designer is currently on display at the Intersolar Europe in Munich. An iPad version of the designer will be available at the App Store soon.

More about the project

I just created a new display for OSRAM Seven Screens in Munich on behalf of ART+COM, Berlin. OSRAM Seven Screens is an installation of seven double-sided vertical screens in front of the OSRAM main office in Munich, next to the highway “Mittlerer Ring”, one of the most congested roads in Munich and Germany.

For the display Reactive Sparks, the traffic on the street is tracked in real-time; each car creates a spark which moves across the screens. The Waves in the lower part of the display represent the amount of traffic in the past few minutes. More traffic results in higher waves with faster movement. The installation conveys the idea of energy and movement and translates it into a visual representation. The warm colours create a warm spot in the gray winter landscape. The display will run until April 2008.

I designed the display in collaboration with ART+COM and realized the programming in Java and OpenGL.

I recently finished the animation/programming of an icon generator for T-Mobile. Users can create their own avatar and download it to their mobile phone via bluetooth. You can play with it in many T-Mobile shops, mainly the T-Punkts.
The design and project management was done by Mutabor, Hamburg.

Update: The MyFaves Icon Generator won the IF Award for Communication Design and the Red Dot Award in 2008.
