Together with designer Michael Wolke and urbanist Jennifer Aksu I developed a participation process for a large temporary structure in the center of German town Mรผlheim an der Ruhr.

The shape-shifting Schwarze Fabrik (Dark Factory) was the center piece of an art festival curated by Ringlokschuppen Ruhr in 2013, representing the radically changing face of industry in the region. The factory was continuously redesigned by participants using a card set, voted upon using a web-site and rebuilt out out of connectable industrial-scale dunnage bags every day.
