IAM Media Lab | Kronesgasse 5/III | 8010 Graz

The lecture will focus on a series of projects developed in the last years: rolling houses, intergalactic sofas, and sensory deprivation tanks, maneki neko and Barbapapa, but also creations in beautiful plastic, reinforced concrete, and optical fibers, Dazzle Patterns and Dalmatiner, PVC and electrial tape, tree bark or cardboard, pavilions and photomontages, competitions and renovations, publishing, escape routes and floor plans, lifestyles and orders of ideas, five-year plans and double-decade instability, finely detailed plans for weeds and brushwood, pompous masterplans or teeny-riny rooms. A little bit of everything, but certainly not everything.
