We
The Design Research Lab is a laboratory for experimental design and research reflecting on the digital society. Through playful interventions, critical making and collaborative reasoning we investigate possible futures. As a platform and network, we are deeply involved with the requirements and policies needed for an inclusive and sustainable development of the digital society from a design perspective.
We are an interdisciplinary team of designers, researchers, tech-enthusiasts and critical thinkers from Berlin University of the Arts, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, as well as Einsteincenter Digital Future (ECDF).

Daniela Wittmann
Researcher
Daniela Wittmann has studied Clothing Technology and Textile Engineering at the University of Applied Science in Berlin. Her main focus is on technical textiles, technical textile products and smart materials. Especially the world of nanotechnology and electrospun nanofiber fascinates her.
She started her internship at the Design Research Lab for 5 months and developed together with the team a “Smart Maintenance Jacket”. After the internship she startet working as a student assistant in the research cluster “Connected Textiles”, where she is now supporting different projects with her textile realization and her processing and material skills.
