Close & Counter asked me to gIn my talk I gave a different view on the future of retail on train stations within the Wereldstation vision (see movie below). On how using knowledge from entirely different fields might help in creating time, and therefore peace of mind, to be open for using retail, without worrying to miss the train. And additionally some examples on how retail on train stations can be smarter and of more use for people living close to the stations as well.

Archis is a independent platform for architecture, city and visual culture, that up to then was most known through its magazine. When I worked at Mattmo, Mattmo was asked to create the online representation of Archis. We decided that the medium should lead the form — meaning having issues as in printer matter would not make sense. Information from earlier issues can have great relevance now, depending on context. There was also a large role for the website’s visitors. Their participation played a key role in content creation. The visitors information could be easily adjusted to his interests, partly by choice, partly suggested by the underlying system, making it possible to discover new paths on the website. This video was used to present the underlying ideas and context at the launch party of the webssite, which received a Bronze Medal Interactive Media Design 2004 by the prestigious American ID Magazine.

Archis.org was created in a team while I worked as a senior designer at Mattmo.
