Consequently, “Architectural Particles – Modular Building in the Digital Age” is the highlight of the so-called Architecture Year 2012 at the Museum of Applied Arts Cologne (MAKK).

Frans Hals Prize for Exhibition Design @ NRC Handelsblad

The open network of forms constructed from scrap-like material was therefore called a “brilliant plan” by the jury.

Ethics of Technology

Our current geological age is being described as “anthropocene”, as the epoch during which human activity is the dominant influence on climate and the environment.
But we do not need to consider a “longue durĂ©e” historical approach, giving priority to long-term historical structures over events.
Todays’ world is witnessing an unforeseen acceleration of environmental changes with a growing human influence on biodiversity and ecosystems with species extinction and climate change.
