Bachelor Thesis
Design of a reusable breathing mask to protect against biological environmental factors, based on UV disinfection technology
The corona pandemic COVID 19 in 2019/2020 has shown the global community how fragile it can be in the presence of a global infectious disease.
The resulting crisis has not yet been overcome during the preparation of this bachelor thesis.
But solutions and improvements emerge from every crisis, since the human greatest evolutionary ability is adaptation.
This work tries to be a response to such a crisis.
It acts within the following dystopian framework:
Biological environmental factors have become an ongoing threat in our everyday lives. The cause of the problem has not been resolved, there is no cure. When we move around in public spaces, constant protection of our airways is necessary.
Due to the extensive nature of a bachelor thesis, I will only show a few impressions of the paper.

The aim of the present Bachelor Thesis was, to design a breathing mask which due to their technology becomes a durable, reusable product, and thus forms a whole other relationship to its user than disposable or cloth masks.
I tried to shape a design which demonstrates superior technology without intimidating.
The Mask relates to human attributes and imitates these, mixing them with alien properties.
The result is familiar and yet strange - like a faded memory or the moment of a developing new thought.
