Max Münster

Designer & Lecturer bei Hochschule München

LinkedIn

Max Münster is a designer and assistant lecturer at the Faculty of Design at Hochschule München. His ten years in industrial, service, and strategic design continue to inform his teaching, where he focuses more and more on a single question: how the way we structure and our use of technology shapes the future culture and society we end up in. He approaches this as a designer, treating design as a way of knowing, a practice that produces more than objects. From this practice, and from the classroom, TRUST has surfaced as a frame through which students work on ideas of their own, beyond simply making "something new". Together with Tobias Lugmeier and 14 students, we use the festival as a medium to communicate, share, and keep learning in public.
