If the world becomes smaller and greener, what could be architecture like? The office of B.A.S. Kopperschmidt + Moczala from Dortmund, Germany, explores the consequences of reducing resources and gaining better living-conditions from different architectural perspectives. This means, that we design spaces in a regional scale and implement them with a strong genius loci, standing for the superior meaning. It includes, that nature and landscape play a more important role in design and classical architectural tasks give way to new design challenges in a smaller scale. Going “Off road” offers new perceptions of urban spaces and chances to discover and realise unique places.
