Since 1999 the Basel Institute HyperWerk lives in liberty, with fresh ideas and

great collaborators. Work takes place in a baroque villa in the heart of the

old town, and people feel in paradise…

.. but as life goes, in summer '14 all this freedom will move to a centralized

campus...

HyperWerk creates an activist design

movement!

Once upon a time...

we act now since efforts of

campus creation and centralization seem

to become the problem instead of the solution

for many universities confronted with postindustrial

challenges.

in mai 2013 motoco had its happy Opening days with a makershop.

in stark contrast to the rainy springtime these were three great days.

We talked and had a lot of projects and plans, and our gourmet group "gastronauts" was cooking.

and with this beautiful beginning we realized that our dream Motoco would become a great success!

and we ever so happy.

Watch the seven-minute movie about our first three days:

students from HyperWerk are dancing the fabulous mulhouse shake.

In thé background some of the fabulous sushi created by the gastronauts may be seen. This group is fascinated by gourmet culture.

by the way: one of the first

aims of motoco will be setting up its own

regular food supply.

For me and for many others makershop had a positive effect. to

come together and to make your statement, this

finds an echo.

in 2010 three students from HyperWerk decided to create a nomadic lab. They

were fascinated by the idea of creative collaboration between the many european design cultures. Here is this formidable team at the design show

Eunique in Karlsruhe, where they presented results from their expedition.

in autumn 2010 the students had announced their project at an american conference on creative swarms.

And in autumn 2011 they hosted this conference in BAsel and reported on their trip.

Here the tryplex nomadic lab for inflatables, visits

a school of glass blowers. This was a great

collaboration indeed!

but let's begin this report at its very start

and because so many people liked their follies they decided to stay together for their next

adventure ...6

e

the purpose of motoco?

The association with its not-

for-profit character wants to

provide an open lab on post-

industrial society, with a focus

on education, ecology,

economy, exchange and

expression. Typical for motoco

are the dialogue with all

actors, the vital need for

cooperation and flexible

reactions.

This is not just about the transformation of a site – this is an exemplary behaviour to cultivate.Because of a dense net of european safety regulations on buildings, creative workers run the risk to lose their workspaces together with their best expressive resources.

state of the project

since autumn 2012 motoco is installed in the former textile works of DMC. It all began in an industrial workshop of around 2000m2. This is

based on the ground floor of a factory building of around 10000m2, that motoco plans to lease and transform minimally

during the coming years. In the long run the association proposes to

extend its activities towards other buildings on the site.

WorksPartners from education and economy are involved in all motoco-projects.

Together we plan to create pilot workshops, cultural studies, festivals, large wood stoves from earth

and bricks, bamboo plantations and open

air theaters.

Approachin collaboration with the town of Mulhouse and its

urban development unit (SERM) such a transformation may be

realized within the rules and still become an aesthetic and economic

success.motoco wants to establish a place

and framework for collective experimentation. associations,

professional schools and institutes for architecture, economy, ecology and event

management shall be involved.

After this nomadic exhibition Motoco began to be fascinated by the world of real estate ! 9

on the DMC, The Serm owns a complex of three buildings

around a central pond. This set of rare beauty seems perfect

for the creation of ideas. During the next months motoco wants to

establish enough confidence for proposals for this set. workshops, studios, studies, start-ups and public areas

(fablab, cafeteria, shops, parks) are

great options.

The materials for the renovation and the

leasing of construction equipment will be funded by

the owner, while much of the work will be done on a

voluntary basis by the project partners as well as through the

participation of professional schools and projects for social inclusion. Through

such generous cooperation, the financial conditions

become affordable and predictable.

but the future needs more than space - there is also a need of

life, content, actions, and goals. Motoco also starts

with this question - how to live in the post-industrial society,

how to invent and design it?

After this nomadic exhibition Motoco became fascinated by the world of real estate !

Based on a large collaborative action

with the best universities in India (IIT Mumbai and NID

Bangalore) Motoco is looking into the high-

tech potential of bamboo for the construction of

robots.

Simple and elegant product:

bamboo shelf created by Josh, design student at the

HyperWerk

Motoco is experienced in the field of design. And so we decided to start looking around for innovative uses of bamboo as a sustainable material with rich associations.from bamboo we plan to make furniture, machinery, gardens, research projects, and intercultural exchange.

and already the adventurous saga of motoco has begun, with

great enthusiasm indeed!

11

makes me rather sad to

see all these gods and treasures from so

many cultures enclosed in their

climatised and safe graves

next to the new Dreispitz campus a great and also frightening treasure is hidden: a collection of 300,000 artifacts from all over the world gathered over the last 200 years. All in the possession of the Museum of Cultures Basel.

a systematic and impressive classification

system

Many versions of many things!

Poor little god!

I find here a unique

treasure for discovering sustainable

crafts! motoco will be doing a

research project around this

opportunity!

So we thought, why not return to the sources of the bamboo

culture and make the trip to India, learn from the experts?

12

in the Dharavi slum in Mumbai live two million people. they produce and recycle an enormous amount of things under very very tough conditions.

A major goal of the next round of Motoco is to create propo-sals for alternative production pro-cesses. They should offer creative combi-nations between the great crafts and impressive techno-logies of India. Motoco calls this mix:

Slow robotics!

These blue dogs drank from the blue water that runs through DHaravi.

planned for the 12.9.13

in this great hall of the Swiss Embassy in New Delhi the festive

final act of the Motoco Indian tour will take place. The Swiss minister

Didier Burkhalter should be attending - and through all these

official dimensions Motoco hopes to gain meaningful

partnerships for its commitment.

During our first trip to Inida we realized why postindustrial Design is urgently needed!

we decided to work on the problem of sustainable production

processes in a village context

and we invited bamboo-experts to Switzerland.

We learned to make surprisingly stable elements for the construction of bamboo-robots.

our open-source lasercutter has been adapted to the geometry of bamboo.

in May 2013 HyperWerk Hosted a workshop on bamboo crafts with Prof. Gopinath Rao of The bamboo-Studio at IIT Bombay.

with admirable patience the craftsman

Narjanan Paul integrated a 3D bamboo

surface in a flightcase prototype.

14

After years of trying to deny the cultural

wealth of our region we

should rejoice over our

diversity and use it as our

best resource

exchange only becomes relevant between partners who want to be different.

But let's take a sidetrack and talk about the conditions that will support such research!

motoco quickly realized that in a French city

there will be little success without the

support of the Mayor

Creating a laboratory on the design of social

transformation, this is the aim of the project carried

by the Association motoco, which was initiated by

Mischa Schaub. This innovative Swiss of 61 years

who started as a sculptor, industrial designer and

then director and professor at the Basel Institute for

Post-industrial Design HyperWerk, has been able to

group around his ideas very many partners from

institutions, from associations and from industry.

Translated from L'Alsace, Mai 25th 2013

Let imagination reign!motoco is a bit the spirit of Mai 68: less the

revolution and more the capital (available); the

will to transform society through imagination,

search for solutions by opening up to the

thoughts of all, bringing together competences,

concepts and means...

Fortunately, Motoco gained the support of the mayor of Mulhouse, who gave a beautiful speech at the opening ceremony of makershop.

one of the greatest qualities of open culture is that it functions peer to peer between the students. This costs less and works

better ...

The motoco proposition for the creation

of the OpenMaster course of studies offers such

attractions:

european multilingual (HGK Basel & HEAR France)

a shameless mix of art and design

individual and clustered lab spaces in dmc

low level finances, high level of freedom (including

entrepreneurial action)

no classic teaching, but dedicated coaching

permanent documentation and external supervision of the process

strong on self-organization (the whole school as a huge

experimental setup)

access to the shared fablab of motoco

start in september 2014

Keyword of the project: "Open Culture". "Think of an

economically active enterprise without a financial

purpose – we act within capitalism, with this very

strong idea of open culture. This place belongs to

nobody, it belongs to everyone. The old system

disappears, we must find alternative approaches!"

explains Mischa Schaub. "We are at the beginning of

the adventure of motoco, this magic moment, this is

truly exiting!" he announces enthusiastically. "What

can you do if you have no money? We have begun with

3000 Swiss francs, and so we have been forced to find

our partners…".Translated from L"Alsace" 25.5.13

But such open attitude needs an open environment to succeed...

To take advantage of the open culture and also for its support, Motoco plans to offer an OpenMaster course of studies. These will use the enormous potential of the DMC situation, where a dense gathering of experts, artists and ideas will create an ultra creative climate.

peer to peer!

17

Here is the Building 75 of motoco.

But the future

will be better!

Life at motoco will be

beautiful: a restaurant, a fablab, many studios and

entreprises, a pond, a parc!

In the Best times of DMC 9000 people worked on this site of 65 Hectars.

motoco is half an hour

away from Basel, and five minutes

from the Highway.

An open campus must be accessible and be open enough to be able to enlarge into a future open space!

motoco says that

Mulhouse will be the core of the

creative industries of our three

regions

18

enthuses Mischa Schaub in front of the cold and deserted huge building 75. With the association motoco (= more to come) and a lot of institutional support (including the city of Mulhouse and Alsace CCI), Mischa Schaub wants to write the first pages of the creative economy. This economic development is based on cultural entrepreneur-ship. It will integrate activities related to the green economy, event services, catering and para-hotel activities.

"I live here through magical

moments, such times are truly exiting. The coming developments

will surprise us, we will see here social, technological,

creative innovation", .

From this lovely old industrial pond the future of DMC will RISE: Motoco!

translated from L'alsace 25.6.13Making businesses competitive

This creative economy should be born in Mulhouse,

on the former site of DMC, a treasure of the

industrial and textile age in Alsace. The idea has

immediately attracted the mayor, Jean Rottner, who

met Mischa Schaub in the context of IBA Basel

2020, a work of cross-border cooperation in which

the redevelopment area project of DMC as well as

the motoco project have been registered.

"Mischa Schaub proposed to us a project based

on design, as a kind of future for the city," said

the Mayor back from a study tour in Canada, a

country advanced in social innovation and

technology. Mulhouse must also find its place,

amplify this movement. Push the walls, invert our

thinking methods for Mulhouse, so that it

becomes a city that dares."

The city of Mulhouse liked the project, as does

also the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of

Alsace which has been very supportive. "Art and

product design aim to make businesses more

competitive", says Nathalie Rolling from the CCI.translated from l'Alsace 25.6.13

19

Mulhouse Area DMC,

Building 75: The location of the creative economyThis project does not

fit into any box. For its

main promoter and facilitator Mischa Schaub, artist, teacher,

designer and visionary,

the building 75 in the

DMC area should become the place for

many kinds of reinvention, innovation in

all its forms.

Action takes off in July

The motoco association will therefore sign a lease for the building

No. 75 until 2026. By July, it will settle on the premises. "Without

money, but in return we are given a whole lot of freedom",

explains Mischa Schaub. I want to address young people who

have ideas and can be attracted to join our nursery. "

To this creative happening will be invited associations, training

institutions, vocational colleges, schools of architecture,

economics, trade and cultural management. The idea of open

culture should appeal to young people. Mischa Schaub promised

them a home "classless, casteless" but in solidarity.

translated from L'alsace, 25.6.13

But such a great plan needs a neat

environment ...20

Motoco as a laboratory for sustainability seeks to understand the potential of alternative materials for design in the context of education.

A proper analysis of the ground is a precondition of success.

This bamboo lamp has an

ingenious mechanism to

accommodate with a hundred

scales many lighting needs.

The plan is to create a bamboo

plantation and garden of

1200m2 on the old parking,

between building 75 and the

pond.

this Variation of bamboo can

survive at minus 30 degrees,

and they can reach a height of

17 meters within five years.

… And motoco will create a garden for research, work and fun!

21

These students from India visited HyperWerk to develop a plan for an expedition through the crafts in many slums and villages. This trip of Motoco will be dedicated to finding sustainable and creative combinations of robotics with traditional village crafts.

We are members of a team that will make

a tour to research indian crafts in

November 2013. Our route will take us

from Bangalore to Mumbai to New Delhi!

What an educational adventure!

we go to India to gain knowledge about sustainable living under extreme conditions. Also we plan to discuss alternative uses of hightech.

on the next page follows the manifest behind our movement!

22

Digital technology has transformed the world.International and interdisciplinary collaboration and education are the new hopes.motoco uses these potentials in the field of design education.motoco is non-profit-oriented and based on collaborative creativity.motoco is about self-help for empowerment, exchange and exploration.motoco is fascinated by difference, mobility and multitude as resources for design.motoco creates equipment, furniture, tools, methods, structures, rules, manuals, networks, media, skills and strategies for design under postindustrial conditions.Results of motoco are open-sourced, actively shared and for free.motoco welcomes the undefined and unknown as a challenge and condition of invention.motoco contributes to the development of a global exploration space.motoco is a full-scale model for the next generation of design edu.Students, educators, alumni and start-ups from design form motoco.motoco calls for the creative minds of all cultures.

Motoco is looking for

creative exchange systems that are

based on the conviction that only our

differences motivate us for exchange.

Motoco offers its participating Schools the chance to think about the decentralized campus - this is As logical as it seems ironic, after so much effort went into centralizing academies …

and already media productions are filmed in the motoco space!

26

Media students from Hochschule Offenburg

regularly create superb documentations of most

events of Motoco. And thanks to their great

Prof. Sabine Hirtes this school is also strongly

involved throughout the whole project.

In February 2013 the media

students from offenburg

were so happy with the

locations of motoco that

they created an expressive

videoclip in disregard of

the bitter cold.

This is a

fantastic

place to shoot

films, do

workshops and get

ideas. The exchange

with the

international

partners and

participants of

MOTOCO opens our

mind and together

we can create and

produce larger

and more

sustainable

ideas ...But we really should act

against these awfully cold conditions ...

27

In a park in Barcelona are benches

created by the architect antonio gaudi. They were

covered with mosaics made from broken tiles...

… and Motoco will create in Mulhouse a

huge stove with a heated earth Bench on which 20

people can sit. In winter they will have a pleasant atmosphere for heated

discussions!

… and so we found a great friend in our fight against the cold: An expert in alternative stoves made from clay!

whole, heat the essential!28

a simulation of our installation of a large oven or - in alsatian dialect - "Kachelofe", heated by wood

I am the builder of alternative

Idea: a stove with heated seats for 20

people. The goal is to become able to

receive groups in our spaces that are too

large to be fully heated. And to have a

regional exchange between the young

people who actually build this stove

together.

Questions: Will our concept of

sustainable heating within large industrial

spaces create a nice and warm focal point

for pleasant exchange? And how could we

use this project to create a vision for

regional cooperation on energy issues in

the context of post-industrial

transformation?

architecture students from the FHNW

confront themselves for two weeks with

aspects of the design of a hostel and

village within a large superstructure:

security, materials,costs, processes,

identity, expression, functions etc.Friday 27.9.13 and saturday 28.9.13

The opening of "Architecture Days" takes place

at DMC. Especially Motoco and the DMC project

will be shown in the context of the traveling

exhibition IBA Basel 2020.On that occasion the Creative Village project

will be presented to the general public for the

first time - if possible in the form of

prototypes and mockups in full scale.

how could the creative fire of Motoco vitalize DMC?

And how could it become reality in 10 months?

And how could a vivid DMC help Motoco?

Let's dare and solve all of this together!

30

In Bangalore motoco has

found the association Jaaga as

a partner. Jaaga has created a

very attractive temporary

building for his cultural

center from pallet storage

racks.

for the architecture days in

september 2013 motoco will develop a prototype adapted to the conditions of

the situation at DMC

Planned is a workshop with

Freeman Murray, the expert from

Jaaga. In July 2013 he will

help us to build prototypes for

work and rest based on the

concept of flexible

structures within a large

house.

So let the action begin!

As Mulhouse is a bit colder than bangalore We will have to

find out what materials to use for isolating walls.

31

Motoco develops and delivers systems and locations for the construction of flexible entities inside a building - you could also call them living furniture.

They are based on pallet racks. They are extremely flexible and stable, inexpensive and they offer a functional medium for entrepreneurs and designers.

Their furniture declaration allows the use of the ground floor surfaces of the DMC plants without major transformation work.

Prototypes and plans for a first village of 50 users will be presented during the architecture days in September '13.

hopefully they will be as convincing as to give us enough push to construct the village till may 2014.

These photos were found stuck to

one of the many pillars in this space. They remain the only reminder how the space looked like during its industrial

use.

look here: Behind

this room there lies another one, and another one,

and another one...

In this rather limitless Hall of the building 63 motoco will install the creative village.

At present we wonder when the ground floor with its 8000 m2 of building 63 will be fully

occupied by the village .

32

HOUSE RULESTO SAFEGUARD THE unique and experimental character OF Motoco all spaces are rented by the association and they are sub-leased to tenants.

MOTOCO IS INTERESTED in ATTRACTing PEOPLE, NOT THINGS – USING OUR RADICALLY INEXPENSIVE SPACES AS CHEAP STORAGE SPACE IS NOT THE IDEA OF OUR COMMON EFFORT.

Financial transparency is important to us - the rent is calculated at their cost and minimum investment. The members CONTRIBUTE THEIR EFFORTS FOR free.

Tenants floors MAINTAIN AND TEMPORARILY USE the semi-public COMMON space on the ground floor. ITS 1400m2 ARE DEDICATED TO THE MOTOCO fablab, TO EXHIBITIONS AND CONFERENCES, AND TO LARGE-SCALE EXPERIMENTS.

CAN I ALSO LIVE THERE? ACCORDING TO THE LEASE WITH THE OWNER SERM TENANTS HAVE NO RIGHT TO LIVE PERMANENTLY IN BUILDING 75. THE ASSOCIATION IS HAPPY ABOUT THIS RESTRICTION, AS A PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE IS IN OUR COMMON INTEREST.

MOTOCO SEEKS TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR MINIMALIST ACCOMMODATION CLOSE BY, PLUS WE WILL TRY TO ESTABLISH A "CREATIVE VILLAGE" IN THE HALL 63. FIRST MODELS OF OUR prototypICAL "LIVING FURNITURE" WILL BE PRESENTED IN SEPTEMBER 2013.

an association with an attitude

It is the interim we are interested. ITS lightness, ITS OPEN LOGIC, ITS mood.

We love the process - we start fast and ADAPt AS we go.

we HAVE learned that the beginning is more magical than the end. This is why we ARE all HAPPY ABOUT the large wasteland DMC with all its open potential.

Motoco wants to offer SPACES FOR CREATIVE WORK at cheap prices - not only for economic reasons but as an aesthetic and ecological research INTO THE REDUCTION OF consumer attitude. Motoco believes that creativity thrives best in a supportive social climate and in An IMPROVISED environment.
