Matthias of HWKN is presenting an intimate and detailed view "behind the curtain" of the creative process that shaped Wendy. From an extensive and meticulous design process to the brink of total failure - Wendy is the perfect example of how strategic and scary design has to be. PICNIC from HWKN on Vimeo. PICNIC 2011 New Aging Matthias HollwichWe have to start a revolution! The way we age in America is inhumane and inadequate. We might live a good life after retirement, but the last three years are hell. There are 17,000 nursing homes in America, and 17,000 reasons to not move into any of them. The dignity of aging needs to be reinstated and we cannot do that by chasing eternal youth. New Aging explores a new way for society to deal with aging, by outlining how we can pioneer our own future selves, and how architecture and urbanism can be re-engineered to support new living typologies, service proximities, and social relevance and space. Become part of the New Aging revolution and join the conversation! http://hwkn.com/HWKN-STORE http://hwkn.com/following/hwkn.com/HWKN-STORE Wed, 02 May 2012 22:23:05 +0000 HWKN 3326347 HWKN has curated an amazing team of designers to create merchandise that reflects Wendy's progressive aesthetics and ground-breaking technology.

We are inspired by the ambiguous nature of Wendy's silhouette and that it's reminiscent of a talking bubble. It takes on a dual reading in the story: it can be read as an object, the protagonist, but it can also be read as speech bubbles by an unknown entity.

The organic form of Open Theater is cradled in a lush valley in close proximity to a school and at the head of a new public pathway that will weave through the center of the Favela below it. The Open Theater will host theater performances, movie screenings, community meetings, children play areas, and many other activities so that it becomes a new cultural center for the community. The Open Theater invites people from Rio and beyond to visit the favela and participate in local culture. The global trend towards authentic experiences gives the development a contemporary dimension and a realistic, inspiring backbone for new social and economic development within an ecological context.   var _gaq = _gaq || [];   _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-13200408-1']);   _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);   (function() {     var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;     ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

Although this is sometimes called ‘efficient’, sealed buildings completely disassociate us from the natural world, leading to greater energy consumption and pollution, a key component of the global environmental crisis. In order to save us from the imminent ecological catastrophe, strategies of energy efficiency and sustainability must move beyond conservation: we need buildings that harvest the environment for energy, synergizing the building’s performance with natural forces.   var _gaq = _gaq || [];   _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-13200408-1']);   _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);   (function() {     var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;     ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

Visegrad (HE NA DRINI) Office Building. The entire proposal celebrates this important world heritage site, while engaging with the public and creating an efficient workplace. The building learns from its surroundings: its size, massing and regard to the street, are contextual, but its center is hollow. The central void is on axis with the Bridge to create a dynamic response to its presence. The majestic Bridge should not terminate in the flat façade of an office building, instead its path continues through the building to link pedestrians to the Narrow-Guage Rail and the city beyond. The center of the building turns into a public amphitheater that places the Bridge at center stage.   var _gaq = _gaq || [];   _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-13200408-1']);   _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);   (function() {     var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;     ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
