About

Lina Hülsmann recently graduated with MA in Interior Architecture (INSIDE) at the KABK, Den Haag, the Netherlands after studying Interior Architecture at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz, Germany. She focuses on interactive spaces that have a playful character and stimulate an awareness of understanding nature as an equal part of the world. She has a strong interest in learning about different cultures and traditional knowledge - resulting in temporary living in India and Spain - to get to know different perspectives on society and to exchange and cooperate with others. Lina views the exchange between cultures and disciplines inside and outside the design field, as well as carefully listening in order to learn more about people’s cultural backgrounds, as key to successful design.

Our Anthropocene mindset has alienated us from being part of nature. To counter this, a research residency based in a cornfield brings together people from different disciplines and various local species. This proposal counters the explorative practices we find in the countryside today. Through a focus on local materials, traditional ways of building, and encouragement of community life, it explores the potential of a cornfield based on cooperation and diversity. The local development of new bio-based materials and cooperation with non-humans are necessary elements for spatial design and to rebuild connections with the intricate ecosystems that sustain life.
