  February 2006 — March 2007 (1 year 2 months)

  Logo Parc. Research on Public Space. Advised by graphic designer Daniel van der Velden at the Jan van Eyck Academy. Fellow researchers: Katja Gretzinger, Gon Zifroni and Matteo Poli.
  
  Logo Parc investigates the political and economical impacts
  on and through design in the new business district "Zuidas" in Amsterdam. With placing the real space into a virtual game-environment we created a "clone"-space in which we were able to experiment with the aesthetic material found in situ. Personal impressions and the found material shaped the symbolic gestures in the virtual space. The space works as a discoursive space, which allows a critical reflection on current symptoms of post-modern city-planning.
