Segments is part of the Ways of Life Campus at Lake Edersee, a community project in the German countryside near Kassel. Together, with the initiator Christoph Hesse and co-curator Neeraj Bhatia, an international avant-garde of architects develops concepts to rethink dwelling and working in rural areas. 

The exhibition illustrates how the projects create social, environmental and economical focal points, enabling a future-oriented transformation – one that not only improves life in the countryside, but also redefines it as a source of innovation and societal progress.

INVISIBILITY: POWERS & PERILS

Our art installation pre.text/vor.wand is part of “INVISIBILITY: POWERS AND PERILS” at OXY ARTS in Los Angeles, CA. We are very excited and honored to be part of Pacific Standard Time Art and Science Initiative by The Getty Museum. 

This exhibition highlights the work of artists and scientists striving to render visible the people, histories and planetary conditions that have been erased within the cultural mainstream, helping to make legible the limits of our own conception of the invisible and its ecological and humanitarian ramifications.

Competition win, Sugar Valley, Munich

The international design contest for the former concrete factory in Munich's Obersendling has been concluded. In the so-called Sugar Valley, we designed a hub for socio-cultural interaction on the central plot. The offering of culture, gastronomy, events, and communal areas defines a unique DNA for the entire district with the integration of active artistic elements. The neighborhood in Munich's southwest will be one of the most sustainable in Germany, bridging modern work and living environments. The first phase of construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.

PRINCETON REVIEWS

In May, Jürgen Mayer H. joined the thesis reviews for two days of speculating on the potentials of architecture in action. This year's projects at Princeton School of Architecture showcased a unique moment in architectural thinking. Performative articulations in presentations and real-life implementations were definitely a part of it. Congratulations to the students and faculty for two truly inspiring days of discussions about what the future holds for the profession.
