The space station, as an extreme example of the utopian city and efficient habitable structures, is an integral part of the past century’s vision of the future. This future has arrived, and the dream of inhabited cities in outer space will remain unfulfilled for a long time to come.

Theater happens right now! A luminous mist of bubbles floating between the old bathhouse and the shaft tower of the former colliery Zeche Zollverein. On the one hand, it reminds of the cleaning process on the other of the transformation into a cultural location.

Die Ausstellung “Seismograph City - Nachhaltige Strategien in Architektur und Städtebau” fand im Sommer 2009 in Hamburg statt. Der Ort der Ausstellung war das gut erreichbar gelegene Foyer eines Bürogebäudes, was für Materialwahl und gestalterische Möglichkeiten besonsondere Herausforderungen mit sich brachte. Wir definierten es als unsere Aufgabe, das Thema Nachhaltigkeit in einer Atmosphäre der Leichtigkeit, Eleganz und Zugänglichkeit zu präsentieren - in gezieltem Kontrast zu der oft als sehr belastend empfundenen Diskussion.

The project “les Archivistes” is the search for parts of a puzzle that make up the history of a modern city. Over one year, residents of Herouville St.Claire participated in workshops with actors, choreographers, artists, writers, and architects, from which emerged fragments of their own imaginary City Archive. Herouville St.Claire is a 1960’s “ville neuf” (new town), planned and built with all the urban resources postwar modernism had to offer. “Le Tabularium” now attempted to put the puzzle together.

Invited by the „GLOW“ festival, raumlabor designed together with plastique-fantastique in cooperation with Designhuis-Eindhoven, the „GLOW-Lounge“ festival centre. A light object out of 600 crates. Unique in the Netherlands, for the third successive time the center of Eindhoven is the stage and podium for „GLOW: Forum of Light in Art and Architecture“.

Development and construction of exhibition architecture in a former power station in Berlin-Mitte for the “megastructure reloaded” exhibition (Autumn 2008), which will query the 1960s megastructuralists, their influence, and the relevance of their work to contemporary urban problems.

This exhibition architecture for “Op-Art” in the Schirn gives spatial expression to the otherworldliness bought forth by many of the works here. The exhibition design separates this distinctive museum into a continual series of spaces—an atmospheric, delicate display for the Op-Art.

Spatial design and architecture for the “Produkt und Vision” exhibition; starting with the table archetype, exhibition furnishings were created for exhibits by twenty artists and artistic groups. By changing their constructive elements—board, frame and legs—in scale and position, a spatial continuum was created, showing an excerpt from a large field of possibilities.
