To a Hammer
Everything is a
Nail
Engineers, designers, and experts often behave like hammers.
The creator of Bauhaus E noted people often seek unnecessarily complex answers to problems - usually from only one perspective, their own. It is rare for people to search for the ’root cause’, especially when outside their comfort zone or expertise.
To an engineer: all problems are of the engineering types - per the saying: everything looks like a nail to a hammer. This behavior causes many known and well funded companies to fail, product to miss a market, and market to miss a product. This very human - but addressable - bias causes engineers (and non-engineers alike) to always look for the nail instead of the solutions upstream or downstream from their viewpoint - such as the business case, end users, needs, impact, materials, serviceability, recyclability, scalability, etc.
Bauhaus E is a work method that has proven to curate innovation into something that actually matters by focusing on root causes and what is impactful to the human and society behind it.
Over the past decade, a comprehensive system of work method, processes, practices, and successful products have been created.
There are 10 core principles and 3 pillars for implementation in the Bauhaus E concept that are designed to be readily assessable in practice and be taught in in the real world, not lecture halls or conference rooms.
Bauhaus E was carefully curated to be actionable and not a ‘pie-in-the-sky’ concept to be neglected by behaviors behind business-as-usual. Its practice and application continue to have impactful outcomes to humans.
About Us
Alp Technologies is a renewable energy engineering start-up based in London focusing on developing renewable energy technologies for low-income countries. We are founded and run on the principles of Bauhaus-E.
Since its founding in 2015, we have won many innovation awards and funded R&D projects on advanced battery storage systems, AI in predictive maintenance, waste to energy generation, and power electronics and control systems. We aim to leapfrog fossil-fuel based energy infrastructure in lower income nations using renewable energy based on local circular economy principles.
