Under the title “NatureTecture” two projects “Humboldt Jungle” and "Humboldt Volcano” are presented on large scale prints (width 3,70 mrt. x height 3,30 mrt.)
KHM-Professor Frans Vogelaar (Hybride Space) will also hold a lecture and do a workshop at CAFA (Central Academy of Fine Arts) in Beijing.

Our current geological age is being described as “anthropocene”, as the epoch during which human activity is the dominant influence on climate and the environment. But we do not need to consider a “longue durée” historical approach, giving priority to long-term historical structures over events. Todays’ world is witnessing an unforeseen acceleration of environmental changes with a growing human influence on biodiversity and ecosystems with species extinction and climate change.

Combining nature with media and architecture, NatureTecture is an approach to technology that considers the development of the real and virtual spaces of human interaction in the context of their natural environments. NatureTecture not only fuses building- and media-technology with nature. NatureTecture is a holistic ecological approach to innovation.

NatureTecture explores the fusion of nature, media and architecture.

“Humboldt Dschungel”, is a jungle for the Berlin “Humboldt Forum”. The “Humboldt Forum” for world culture, an exhibition building combining all Berlin ethnological museums, is Germany’s largest cultural project ever. “Humboldt Jungle” is a hanging garden with lianas overgrowing the Prussian palace that is housing the museums and a tropical forest on its roof. “Humboldt Jungle” connects culture with nature by referring to the naturalist and discoverer Alexander von Humboldt, the name patron of this new “Humboldt Forum” Center for the Dialogue of Cultures.

“Humboldt Dschungel” reinterprets the barock ornaments of the palace façade into a living biotope, fusing nature and architecture, creating NatureTecture.

“Humboldt Volcano” is an extension to the Berlin “Humboldt Forum” building with a large winter garden pavilion housing a vertical forest in the center of Berlin and a participatory media concept. “Humboldt Volcano” as a combined physical and media space opens the museum to the public and the city, fusing nature, architecture, media and technology, creating NatureTecture.
