PLACESHIPS

J.MAYER.H - PLACESHIPS

PLACESHIPS is an immersive dive into the multiverse of J.MAYER.H’s creative cosmos. More than just buildings, these are living thought structures – bold, biomorphic entities born from sketches, models, and bozzetti that unlock entire constellations of parallel possibilities. This is quantum architecture: unpredictable, nonlinear, radically alive. Breaking free from earthly conventions, J.MAYER.H’s – PLACESHIPS rise from the flat grid of the planet’s surface, the "Monumento Continuo", echoing the utopian visions of Superstudio – yet aiming even further.
Visitors are invited on an interdimensional voyage – between Planetary Sparkle and Cosmic Latte – where form becomes fiction, and fiction becomes future.

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.
