WOHA. Breathing Architecture

02.12.2011 – 29.04.2012, ground floor
Opening: Thursday, 01.12.2011, 19:00

Some of their structures remind us of bold visions of the future, in which plants reclaim nature for themselves. WOHA architects from Singapore – Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell – realize the permeation of buildings and landscape, of interiors and exteriors in projects such as the Singapore School of the Arts and the seminal residential high-rise The Met in Bangkok, which received the International Highrise Award 2010. Topics such as creating value added through communal areas and permeability for climate and nature will be presented in WOHA’s first monographic exhibition using examples of open tropical family homes, green highrises and projects still in the completion phase. For instance the future Singapore’s office and hotel ensemble PARKROYAL ON PICKERING is supposed to “disappear and just to mirror the plants”.
