Beyond the Building

CAMERON SINCLAIR, CHIEF ETERNAL OPTIMIST, ARCHITECTURE FOR HUMANITY

Architecture for Humanity is (hardly) arguably the most noble of all such organisations, dealing, as it is, with the
restoration or reformation of disaster struck communities worldwide. With the number of structures they have implemented surpassing the 2000 mark, and a list of countries that are highly varied and widespread, one cannot help but virtually curtsey to those responsible for the organisation. With hat in hand, DAMn has had the pleasure of interviewing the co-founder.

Twenty Years of Passion

A BERLIN TALK WITH KONSTANTIN GRCIC

Konstantin Grcic is still in possession of the very first table he designed after leaving college, which has pride of place in his new living room where it now serves as a desk. It was originally made for his mum who has since abandoned it. Grcic cherishes simplicity; he is also a guy who greatly appreciates diversity and seeks out projects
that allow him to exercise it.

Between Situations

ANTONI MUNTADAS EXTENDED

Situación 2011, the latest project by this New York based conceptual and media artist, is being presented in Madrid, sited within a retrospective exhibition divided into nine poignant themes. The artist’s latest works are based on the forms by which fear is used as a control strategy; namely, through the architecture and urbanism of exclusion. DAMn interviewed Antoni Muntadas just prior to the opening of another exhibitions of his in the Bronx Museum.
