Reconnecting with nature
The Sohnarr Sjel
The Sohnarr Sjel - how to make the invisible visible, by merging with nature.
The Sohnarr Sjel
The Sjel is an ar(t)chitectural music installation traveling through nature to serve as a shelter, a place for contemplation and reconnection with nature. It invites individuals to take a walk into nature on their own and to give themselves permission to connect with it in a very symbolic ànd physical way: by entering a space which is merged with nature and through music inspired by nature itself. It is a place of safe introspection where solitude meets unity and the invisible becomes visible.

Migration of Matter
Migration of Matter - How can design express the evolving symbiosis between humans and plants
Germany
Today, the Earth's biodiversity is being lost at an alarming rate. By embodying elements of lesser known plant species, our project can highlight this issue and increase knowledge of the natural world. Each 3D printed clay artefact tells a unique story. Aesthetically, we take inspiration from little known, weird and wonderful plants and fungi by 3D scanning them and giving new life through parametric design using local clays and pigments from the same regions as the objects we re-imagine.

We go crazy about Camellias not only because of their aesthetic beauty and history but also because they were able to boost engagement and participation of a community and to transform abandoned soils into new areas of an Excellence Camellia Garden in Tuscany. The project started in 2020 and had a multi-sectoral, bottom-up approach in order to bring people closer to nature, regardless of their age, interests and groups with a focus on protection of landscape and people inclusion.

Residential house Lichtenberg Amersfoort (NL)
Residential house Lichtenberg
A new green residential area is being developed on the site of the former hospital "De Lichtenberg" in the Dutch city of Amersfoort. The area has a rich culture and is characterized by - for Dutch standards - very sloped terrains which were created during the ice age.

An authentic environment to create a unique nature-oriented home on the border of this urban and rural area.
