Spaces of life

The exhibition Ole Scheeren: Spaces of life at the Karlsruhe Centre for Art and Media (ZKM) presents the works of German architect Ole Scheeren. Extensive models in the tall atria of the exhibition spaces demonstrate the architect’s progressive designs. Amid a setting of video screens, visitors are heaped with social-media comments about Scheeren. Modern digital technology makes the exhibition into a truly multimedia experience.

Virtual architecture

Thanks to AR technology, visitors can immersively discover the content of the exhibition. They can use the Snapchat app to scan the QR codes listed by the architectural models with their own mobile phones, which will show the models on-screen in their real surroundings. This allows exhibition guests to explore well-known buildings and their interiors in their urban environs. Scheeren’s style of futuristic thinking appears in his exhibition design as well.

Ole Scheeren

The architect, who hails from Karlsruhe, studied at the universities of Karlsruhe and Lausanne as well as at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, where his work was distinguished with the RIBA Silver Medal.
