Who Doesn’T Know This? Things, Bought Just Now, Break Down After A Short Time. Reparability Is Not Considered, Spare Parts Are Not Available. What To Do? Repair Cafés Try To Help, But There Is Actually A Need To Rethink The Construction And Production Of Things.

In Order To Counteract This Development And To Sensitize For A More Sustainable Use Of Resources, A Repair Course Has Been Initiated At The Faculty Of Architecture At The University Of Applied Sciences In Munich. Concepts For The Repair Of Various Objects Have Been Developed And Conducted – By Hand As Well As By The Help Of Digital Fabrication Tools. Some Projects Have Already Been Exhibited And Presented To The Maker-Scene At Make Munich, The Biggest Diy-Festival Of Southern Germany. This Publication Presents The Whole Spectrum For The First Time. It Doesn’T Only Want To Encourage Thinking But Also Making – Because Exchange May Not Replace The Concept Of Repair, Neither In Product Design Nor In The Bigger Scale Of Architecture.
