    The Multi-sensory Museum

    The Multi-sensory Museum: Inclusion of people with disabilitiy experience as user/experts

    Eindhoven, Netherlands
    The Multisensory Museum is a project at the interface of research and architecture. We socially innovate architecture processes by developing a co-design method that engages people with disability experience and architects together in a creative endeavor. The result is an enticing space that draws the museum visitor in through all the senses (sound, touch, smell, vision, motion), giving an architectural expression to inclusion and dialogue, providing a new way of experiencing a museum visit.

    Architecture and Passive Houses

    3 examples of passive residential buildings in the Mediterranean climate of Italy

    Cesena (Forlì-Cesena), Italy
    Man constantly tries to imitate nature’s beauty, as everything is functional in it. Unfortunately, man’s creations are imperfect: they consume resources, pollute air and soil. Man is aware that his creations have flaws, but often pretends not to see them. We want to be eye-opener. We chose to design sustainable buildings using Passive House Standard: zero energy consumption, zero emissions, healthy environments. The planet is our home and we, as architects, we have the duty to take care of it.

    Residential and studio building at the former Berlin flower market (IBeB)

    Berlin, Germany
    The main idea for the Residential and studio building at the former Berlin flower market (IBeB), which was initiated by the architects in cooperation with a cooperative, is to offer a mix of live and work units that meets the needs of artists and creative professionals, among others. Moreover, the comparatively low land price allowed the cross-subsidisation of cooperative residential and studio spaces within the project, which can be let at a sustainable rent.
