The prototype for Actopolis has now been completed and production will start soon for the inaugural show in Oberhausen in March. After that the exhibition initiated by Goethe-Institut and Urbane Künste Ruhr will travel to several other cities with site-specific displays. Graphic Design by NODE Berlin Oslo.

From 4.11.2016 the modular exhibition system designed by Stadelmann Schmutz Wössner for ‘Globale’ will be shown as part of the exhibition ‘Frei Otto. Thinking by Modeling’ at ZKM, Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe. A large number of models, objects and instruments will be displayed on an expansive table arranged by ‘FAR frohn&rojas’ with the modular framework laid out horizontally as a base.

Works have started for the renovation and conversion of several historic rooms in the large country house from 1853. The spaces which had been renovated in the 60s will be brought back to their original status and building fabric. Insulation will be installed discretely as a new lining on walls and soffits to improve energy efficiency but also to add new architectural elements in order to enhance the character of the interiors.
