Miele Ruimte Station (space station 1) is a construction; an architectonic installation entirely made of broken wasmachines.
This multipurpose mobile has been built from 5 loose modules which everyone can be lifted by 2 man and are rolled by a standard door opening. Wasmachines are standard 60 cm broad, this way also the modules, which have been built from fronts and backs.
For transport the 5 parts on a partisan are placed and form this way a caravan. On location the modules in several configurations can be placed as a result of which the object for a lot of aims can be used.



HOUSE THE PHONE BOOTH



dALHOUSIE uNIVERSITY_ Faculty for architecture and planning








Richard Kroeker, Professor at the faculty, have organized a workshop with his students in 2005 in collaboration with a recycling company for the realisation of a house with old phone books.
"There are thousands of them thrown out every year when the phone company comes and brings in a new phone book for the year. It occurred to me that they're more or less a building block." said Richard Kroeker. (report from http://www.cbc.ca/story/science/national/2005/08/09/phone-book050809.html)
