We were speaking with Martin at the 9th International Biennial of Landscape Architecture in Barcelona, September 2016. He told us about his design approach, the Superkilen project (that was just awarded with Aga Khan Award) and Topotek’s recent exhibition in their work space.
While the first exhibition by Topotek 1 is over, you can still attend the next one that will take place in Munich:
