Isabelle Bentz presents Hosoya Schaefer Architects [Switzerland]
March 29th 2011, Tuesday, from 7.00 to 9.00pm
About "Open Format":
Today, many ideas and informations about how to construct a sustainable and mobile future are available. How can complex relations of information be communicated to a broader audience? What are possible formats to make this knowledge digestible? Isabelle Bentz presents research-based projects developed at the media department of Hosoya Schaefer architects, Zurich.
MobiGlobe is a media installation for the Volkswagen Autostadt in Wolfsburg. It is showing mobility as the systemic interplay between transportation, city, structure, resource flows and lifestyle. Therefore, several visionary thinkers have been accompanied and interviewed all over the world. They are addressing questions such as the future of mobility and it’s impact on urban planning and the organization of individual lives. A film, projected on six over-sized screens, compiles interviews, 3D animations and film footage within a complex screen choreography. Meanwhile, interactive stations are providing details and background information.
About Isabelle Bentz:
Graduated in architecture at the ETH Zurich in 2005, she is now a Partner at Hosoya Schaefer Architects, where she has been conceptualizing and developing research-based projects such as the installation „MobiGlobe“ for the Volkswagen Autostadt in Wolfsburg, or the award winning 3D online application „Universe of the Oceans“ for the national German TV Channel ZDF.

WEST8 presented by Christian Gausepohl [Netherlands]
February 22nd 2011,Tuesday, from 7.00 to 9.00pm
February 22nd 2011,Tuesday, from 7.00 to 9.00pm
Guest Speaker Christian Gausepohl, Project Architect at West 8, will be presenting the award winning, international office for Urban Design and Landscape Architecture, based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. After graduating in 2003, Christian refined his skills in various architectural offices in Germany and abroad. Since 2005 he has worked as an architect and landscape designer at West 8, where he has contributed to a number of prestigious international projects.
With a multi-disciplinary approach to complex design issues, West 8 has extensive experience in large-scale urban master planning and design, landscape interventions, waterfront projects, parks, squares and gardens all over the world. The approach of the production of nature happens in two different - but characteristically Dutch - ways. First, by taking a classic civil engineering approach for creating landscape - a logic based on utility and necessity. Second, by being Dutch, West 8 is part of a landscape tradition that confers identity and, therefore, understands the need for creating symbols in the production of landscape. This method envisions a new nature, a 'second nature' of constructed landscapes that respond to pragmatic demands (water management, population growth, traffic congestion) and also reinforce the culture to which they belong (identity, symbols, expression).
In a departure from the old demolish and install engineering methodology, or the current preserve and protect model, they are adding and expressing new natures. Being convinced that the real future in today's debate about sustainability lies not in a political or philosophical dialogue about what we are protecting or how we are going to sustain" it, West 8 focuses rather on how to actively create new ecologies. Creating land and then painting it: in many ways, this is the soul of Dutch culture. Web: http://west8.nl
