Superuse Studios talk
Wikado, Rotterdam by Superuse Studios.
Since 2006 Jos de Krieger has been working in the field of architecture, especially innovative architecture and design made from leftover and waste materials. After his graduation at TU Delft he joined Superuse Studios (former 2012Architecten) to push the boundaries of architecture beyond traditional building methods into cyclical processes.
Jos says, “At Superuse Studios we believe we can make a difference… We think ingenious, beautiful and functional architectural and social design solutions can be created using existing resources, materials and systems. Everything is already there, we just have to see and utilise it. In this way we can transform to a sustainable society and limit the environmental impact of architecture and design. To make optimal use of locally sourced ‘waste’ in new design solutions is what we call SUPERUSE. Functionality, sustainability and aesthetics are our guiding principles.”
This lecture is presented by Te Pūtahi – Christchurch centre for architecture and city-making in partnership with the New Zealand Institute of Architects Canterbury Branch and venue partner Ara Institute of Canterbury. Jos de Krieger’s visit to New Zealand is sponsored by Metalcraft Roofing and Colorsteel, and supported by the Warren Architects Education Charitable Trust.
Free public lecture, starts at 6pm.
