Jolan Van der Wiel 山下しゅんや RICK-O-SOUND Louis Kahn From 1957 until his death, he was a professor of architecture at the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania. Kahn created a style that was monumental and monolithic; his heavy buildings do not hide their weight, their materials, or the way they are assembled. Louis Kahn's works are considered as monumental beyond modernism. Famous for his meticulously built works, his provocative unbuilt proposals, and his teaching, Kahn was one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. He was awarded the AIA Gold Medal and the RIBA Gold Medal. At the time of this death he was considered by some as "America's foremost living architect Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Jesse Oser House, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania (1940) Louis Kahn, whose original name was Itze-Leib (Leiser-Itze) Schmuilowsky (Schmalowski), was born into a poor Jewish family in Pärnu,[citation needed] Estonia and spent his early childhood in Kuressaare on the island of Saaremaa.

Maartje Dros Public Space Research and Design Synth-ethic: Art and Synthetic Biology Exhibition — Vienna, Austria Tuur van Balen Pigeon d’Or Pigeon d’Or proposes the use of pigeons as a platform and interface for synthetic biology in an urban environment. Tuur van Balen’s project attempts to make them defecate soap! By modifying the metabolism of bacteria naturally occurring in the gut of pigeons, synthetic biology allows to add new functionality to animals commonly seen as vermin and “flying rats,” turning them into tools for urban disinfection. In collaboration with James Chappell, the artist has designed a special bacteria that, when fed to pigeons, turns their faeces into a biological window soap. This both micro and macro scale art project addresses the ethical, political, environmental and safety-related consequences of synthetic biology. Van Balen has designed two functional objects: The first one is an architectural contraption by which pigeons potentially become part of the museum space.
Aernout Mik | ARTtube De tentoonstelling "Communitas" van beeldend kunstenaar Aernout Mik (Groningen, 1962) was van 4 mei tot 25 augustus 2013 te zien in het Stedelijk. "Communitas" omvat Miks belangrijkste video-installaties uit de periode 1999-2013 en vindt plaats in een ruimtelijke enscenering, waardoor een indringend beeld van het artistieke oeuvre van Aernout Mik ontstaat. Mik schetst in de tentoonstelling op treffende wijze de psychosociale toestand van de huidige samenleving. Interviews en research: Fieke Tissink, Eline TimmerCamera en editing: Maaike SipsProductie: Bobcat Media Met dank aan: Aernout Mik, Leontine Coelewij, Rixt Hulshoff Pol floating-lab Martin Massé Architecture "Qui se souvient des hommes" Réinventer l’idée du mémorial, trouver de nouvelles pistes, de nouveaux moyens dans l’architecture pour se souvenir. Utiliser l’architecture, le décors, la mise en scène pour transmettre des émotions, le souvenir par l’expérience sensitive de l’espace. Mon projet est tout d’abord un hommage.
Heidi Hinder | Tangible Memories Following on from our pop-up exhibition of audio stories, produced from our winter visit to the MShed (see Memories and Museums) we have been developing another auditory experience using chairs, and inspiration drawn from venturing outdoors. Here I introduce the concept of a therapeutic rocking chair for older people with dementia. Early on in the Tangible Memories project, we recognised that access to the outdoors, and specifically to the natural world, was very limited for many care home residents, often due to a decline in their physical mobility, or particularly if they were suffering from the more advanced stages of dementia. Equally, when we asked ourselves as a team, ‘what would we want in a care home of the future?’, we identified the simple routine of being able to go outside and experience the elements as something that would be of great importance to us all. How can interfaces support slow and meditative interaction in a fast paced world? Audio Player
VISUAL&PRODUCT DESIGN Translucent structure table. Different sources of light will interact with this table, Artificial and natural. Every moment of the day will give this table a different appearance. A very hands-on design While Bastiaan is fascinated by design as a mental process, he also likes to keep a practical perspective. Which is why builds functional objects, too. Idea generating for the computer age Bastiaan’s project proposes a new set of principles for the design process, which is fast digitalising. Material. Frame Magazine aksed me to design the cover image and 3 other images for in frame magazine 107. I used my methodology of the digital virtuosity to generate these digital material "creatures" Read the full interview in Frame Magazine or here : November - December 2015
