The Interior Design Engineering Department at Tishk International University successfully organized an international workshop entitled “Anti-Gravity and Kinetic Balance as a Design Language” on June 8, 2026. The workshop was presented by Assoc. Prof. Sabah Shawkat, Structural Designer from the University of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava, Slovakia.
The workshop introduced participants to innovative design approaches that explore the concepts of anti-gravity, movement, and kinetic balance as creative tools in contemporary design. Through theoretical discussions and visual examples, students gained insight into how magnetic forces, structural equilibrium, and dynamic motion can be integrated into interior and architectural design to create interactive, visually engaging, and functionally innovative spaces.
The session highlighted the relationship between physics, technology, and design, demonstrating how designers can challenge conventional spatial boundaries and develop environments that evoke movement, flexibility, and user interaction. Students were exposed to cutting-edge design concepts that broadened their understanding of contemporary design methodologies and encouraged creative experimentation.
The workshop provided a valuable academic and professional learning experience, fostering critical thinking and inspiring students to explore new possibilities in the field of interior design.
