Invited by IG Architektur, a panel of experts in serial housing have gathered for discussing serial construction. Berlin office director Philip Norman Peterson has presented the student housing project Frankie&Johnny, focussing on its modular design and pre-fabricated elements. Meanwhile, the container cluster in Berlin-Treptow is growing.

The museum as social container

The narrative co-space

Collective Intelligence

Elements of an exhibition

Alienation effect through abstraction

Our handling of the space continues with the manipulation of the exhibits. Original objects become decontextualised in an exhibition, when they end up in a museum they find themselves in a context they have never been in before. Things become interesting when this new environment is used deliberately. A certain alienation effect through abstraction can open up new perspectives.

Apocalypse — End Without End

Submitted by Melissa Caflisch on Thu, 11/09/2017 - 09:48

The exhibition’s theme may seem far-fetched for a natural history museum. More than a natural phenomena, the idea of Apocalypse is a cultural concept. However, environmental damage has become a real threat today. But doesn’t show history as well that natural and man-made disasters have always fuelled innovation? Scientific and cultural perspectives are interweaved in this show.

The exhibition is shown from November 10, 2017 (planned running time five years).

"Thinking Spaces" Out Now!

How do objects, exhibition, and space interact? What are the present and future roles of exhibition designers? What are exhibition visitors’ needs today and where are they going? Is exhibiting the last discipline in co-design?

Barbara Holzer’s essay on her understanding of scenography, illustrated by project examples, has just been published in the DETAIL Inside.
