Open Circularity Day: Bridging Architecture and Arts.

It was an inspiring day at GTB Lab, featuring an art performance and conversations about transformative visual arts. Marcus Kaiser showcased his modular house installation and green setup "eclectric clouds", which brought the heart of GTB Lab to life, mirroring nature's cycles. There was also music with open scores by Germaine Sijstermans (bass clarinet) and Marcus Kaiser (cello), who performed "Elexen" (2020). Additionally, there was a presentation on transformative architecture at GTB Lab by Elma Durmisevic.

This collaboration between GTB Lab, Greylight Projects, and Ludwig Forum Aachen is part of the Reading the Region Research Residencies program. The residency bridges artistic practice with regional research, delving into themes that resonate with GTB Lab's emphasis on adaptable buildings and systems.
