Johan’s has won a number of international competitions and exhibited internationally, most recently in the Digital Hinterlands Exhibition in London. Johan’s most recent work explores melding multiple modes of representation in a singular architectural expression. The work seeks to create a series of spatial interplays, one that explores notions of scale, construction and inversion in the experience of spatial constructs. In the future Johan hopes to continue developing modes of expressing the digital – physically, oscillating architectures ability to form the tangible while expressing the imagined.
