-==Organic City (working title)==
+====Organic City / Reef City====
-Thought's are still being brought into order. Please wait.
+After some thought I have decided that the aspect I’m most interested and fascinated by at the moment <br>
+is the translation of urban, geometric static forms into organic shapes.
+What would a building look like, if it weren’t a human-build structure with strict constraints but a free flowing shape,<br>
+changing its form to adjust to its needs? What would maybe even a whole city look like?
+To deal with these questions I have begun to research coral reefs. I consider them to be metropolises of the sea<br>
+as they provide a variety of organisms with food and shelter. Even though they cover less than 0.1 % of ocean surface,<br>
+they harbor 25 % of all marine species.
+For this project I would like to try and “translate” a city (or part of a city) like Weimar into a reef-like structure and see,<br>
+what changes emerge through the organic shape-building. Maybe some of these realizations can even be of use<br>
+in the process of future urban development connected to global warming.

+==ProSkin==
+“Protective Skin2” is about the history of a distant, dystopian future. <br> <br>Through the chronological retelling of how that future came to be, the listener is shown why and in which way society changed. <br>
+The work evolved out of the thought of what would happen, if people couldn’t touch and therefore feel each other anymore. <br> How would this situation change people? What would be its consequence for society as a whole? <br><br>
+This work creates a scenario that manufactures and explores the idea of placing such constraints on people. <br> To make the dystopian world more tangible to the audience, it experiences a kind of old school history lesson <br> in which a disembodied narrator takes them through the last 100 years but doesn’t mention the current situation or date <br> as that is for the audience to the decide for themselves.

+After this test, I recorded the lecture text with an native English speaker.<br><br>
+And my images for the lecture are coming along, too.
