Exhibitions
For Gallery 1 Frank Bruggeman developed an exhibition model that takes a unique approach to the far-reaching rationalisation of the agricultural landscape, Mars as the last utopia, the possible role of the designer as a researcher and the holiday resort as a solution for the changing relationship between the landscape and the city. In Gallery 2, The Human Insect: Antenna Architectures 1887-2017 will raise the issue of the far-reaching entanglement of man and technology, with Mark Wigley as a curator. The exhibition is designed by the architect Andrés Jaque, founder of The Office for Political Innovation.
