"Based on the general language" spiritually "called cognitive abilities of humans called" spirit "of perception and learning as well as remembering and imagining and fantasizing, and all forms of thinking ..." The architecture provides for the event "plan09" in the courtyard of the Academy of Media Arts planned meeting point, only the idea of a building, its spirit. A formwork for concreting prestraightened roughly describes his appearance, and lying in the future is up to the imagination of the viewer - is thus an infinite number of different houses.

Detached from the physical body of the transcendent space for the duration of the event-use development. After seven days, the spirit vanished and the formwork is a form of other buildings.

The meetingpoint at the plan09 receives from the Cologne architecture prize „KAP“ 2010 an appreciativeness: "This is the temporary solution of the mature test tube. Even if there is only one week as the meeting point of the plan09 LHVH architects. The idea to construct a simple hut made of the yellow casing elements of the concrete work, describes this spirit of the Provisional particularly poetic. Because the concrete will never flow in here, he is just as fantasy material available from which to model his ideas, a creative spirit. The simple form, which says at first nothing more than to be the archetype of a house, developed by the peculiar color, but also by the associations of slum and Favella buildings, narrative qualities that can inspire the process of talking about architecture. And if after a few days, the plates again become common functional elements, then the ephemeral, the Memento Mori, the great idea and so a call of memory, the contrasts of this beautiful work to never lose sight of.
