Dieter Raffler is Professor at the Design Faculty of Anhalt University in Dessau with a focus on 2d and 3d design. He plays an important role in DIA’s PreCourse as a experienced workshop Master, who acts as an academic hinge to Albers’ Vorkurs ideas and methods. This goes back to his own student years at the Ulm School of Design, where Dieter nRaffler studied the work of Josef Albers and became fascinated by his work with paper. In the past years, Prof. Raffler has intensified his research of this historical work employing paper, which lead him to even recreate some of the models made by Albers students at the Bauhaus School. Consequently, in Prof. Raffler’s Workshop, he asks students to create complex objects only with the use of a pencil, a simple ruler and plain paper.
