Imagine 05 – Energy
Climate design and climate engineering are nowadays standard in the design process. the more successful we are in this, the less energy we need to run the building during its useful life and we focus instead on an additional aspect:

Heizkraftwerk in Aachen
The Heizkraftwerk in Aachen is a former power station within the university campus that was converted into a seminar and lecture hall. The concept was to keep the outline and the main structure while giving a new and fresh appearance.

Vertical City
Watching a highrise grow in the city is always something very interesting, seeing it from the inside during the construction phase is even more exciting. We went out high with Kees van Casteren / project architect from OMA Architects to

Deflate-ables
Pneumatic structures have been thoroughly investigated and developed during the 60’s. However, the energy crisis and aesthetic developments prevented this type of structures from becoming part of the mainstream construction methods. Nowadays these structures are typically used in special areas

Imagine facades
The facade technology of the 20th century is related to the dissolution of the massive wall into a separation of structure and facade. Looking at the development of facade technology now, after 60 years of curtain wall systems, 30 years
