Philippe Rahm

Interesting Article on Philippe Rahm a favorite of mine in the world of physiological architecture. He has created rooms that do everything from increasing melatonin levels in the observer using electromagnetic wavelengths to triggering sexual desires using paint colors. He has also delved into the architecture of decay, creating a house made of concrete whose composition degrades into top soil, ending the building life cycle with a nice flower patch. Or a pavilion made of waffles, which slowly crumbled from a mixtures of environmental forces and animal ingestion. I will try to write an article on him later chronicling these pieces and their possible implications for society. For now enjoy this well written article on the subject.
