Performance driven envelopes

The impact of climate design on architecture is obvious. But design trends are currently attempting to implement climate design merely as an additional item in architectonic planning. The alternative is to start with an architectural attitude that will produce a

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
