John Körmeling
Architect, engineer, visual artist and freethinker John Körmeling (b. 1951) is the designer of the Dutch pavilion, Happy Street, at the World Expo Shanghai 2010. His designs contain ironic observations of our often uniform tastes and habits, combining almost cartoon-like forms with such trivial items as fairground lighting and advertising. Körmeling’s recent projects include ‘Hot Spring’ a 25 meter high map in the Japanese town Matsunoyama that visitors could climb at the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennal in Japan; 'Drive-In Wheel', a giant Ferris wheel for cars on which drivers can briefly escape the traffic jam.
