After Apricots (TR/DE/US)
Lara Mehling & Bahar Akgün
Designers
“Our work tests the limits of decorative language as a new form of meaning-making in architecture and design. We promote the notion of beauty as a critical tool for understanding the power and effect of ornament in a secular environment and its potential to communicate a multiplicity of perspectives today.”

Bach Mühle Fuchs (CH)
Daniel Fuchs,
Philippe Grossenbacher
& Simon Mühlebach
Architects
“We are interested in the performance of space. What can a house do beyond its intended function? How can architecture bring added value to society, challenge the social rules of coexistence, create order or disorder, generate feelings of happiness, sadness, understanding, serenity, relaxation, of sublimity, of recreation, making a context readable, clarifying existing qualities, surprising us or challenging the discipline?”

Will Beckers (NL)
Sculptor
“I always imagine what it would be like if my works were integrated over time. Time is an additional dimension that is often forgotten; it allows a sculpture to evolve in symbiosis with its environment. My work is about showing the transience of life and the regeneration of our natural world.”

Collective R (CH)
Jürg Tröhler, Arnaud Scheurer
& Andreas Stebler
Architects and planner/creator in the field of events
“A few cups of coffee, the development of a simple idea (often a little crazy…) transcribed into a project that we will subsequently bring to life and materialize for the general public. Like reading Asterix and Obelix, everyone finds a little something that brings a smile to their lips, regardless of their age, gender, social background or even level of training.”

Bob Verschueren (BE)
Plastic artist
“Like the sponge, absorb, then express. Immerse myself in the place to be invested, let it resonate. Add the quintessence of my thoughts. Dialogue with the elements, the spaces as if everything were new, unique, precious. Look for the secret affinities that exist between them.”
