From animals to robotization, climate change to migration. In the exhibition ‘Countryside, The Future’, Rem Koolhaas presents a new collaborative project exploring how countryside everywhere is transforming beyond recognition.
For ‘Countryside, The Future’, Rem Koolhaas needed a full size mamoth skeleton.

The mammoth skeleton was completely 3D printed and put together with a steel frame construction hidden within the printed elements.
For a private home a bespoke winding staircase has been made and finished on location.

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.

The facade was created using GRIP Metal Technology and was prefabricated in Toronto, Canada. The interior void was created with 3D printing technology.
The interior void is finished with a DDF liquid metal: gun metal.
