back-fish http://www.philipppreuss.com how to build a fish out of bamboo in 2 1/2 weeks Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:33:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 en final resume http://www.philipppreuss.com/?p=108 http://www.philipppreuss.com/?p=108#comments Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:11:14 +0000 Philipp http://www.philipppreuss.com/?p=108
Honeycomb Structures / fish scales

Finally I am back online. After having spent some time having fun on the slopes of switzerland & france i am back in halle, and we are already planing a new project. However, looking back on the last semester, i have to say that this project has been extraordinary. The group really got it´s own groove in the last 6 weeks and we all gave everything to make it all happen. The final presentation at our university on Tuesday the 2nd February 2009 was a huge success. People were standing in the alleyway because the room was packed and we all got very good feedback and also good grades. I think this the right time to thank our Teachers : Detlef Lewandowski & Enrico Wilde and our external advisor who had a lot of knowledge and some good tricks: a real bamboo-specialist: Mathias Richter - Thank you very much.

I would also like to thank the team who spent all these nights together ( no sleep till …) : Till, Ludwig, Fabian, Toshi, Seung-Jin, Wang and Nadine - thanks a lot, it was a pleasure working together with you !

But it will have to prove it´s abilities once the fish is hanging and the tail starts to shake.
