For ‘Countryside, The Future’, Rem Koolhaas needed a full size mamoth skeleton.

At Dutch Design Week 2019 Studio Roex presented ‘Playground, work hard, play harder’ with the Tubus Seesaw in gold and blue. In this object a flattened steel tube is being used. By clever use all functions of the seesaw are derived from this one particular tube.

Facing Gaia was presented at the Venice Architectural Biennale in conjunction with the exhibition “Time Space Existence”.

 

Standing at 12-meters-tall at the edge of the Adriatic Sea, the gleaming white, monolithic tower is bisected by a floating amorphous void.  The undulating mirror-finished space in between represents the infinite and the finite, the possible and the impossible, while reflecting the surrounding gardens, water and pedestrians.

 

The title is derived from the concept that Gaia (the living Earth) is at a moment of crisis.  Humanity is at a crossroads in a world where we are running out of resources and space – in a moment where we are expanding with progressive technologies and the increasing capacity to connect.  We are moving into a cultural shift from sustainability to viability.  Facing Gaia stands as a beacon on the edge of this precipice.
