The exhibition Matière Grise, concerns the challenge of using more "grey matter" – used building materials – and less new material. When it comes to re-use of materials, the architect stands at the centre innovation, involving engineers, technical managers, manufacturers, contractors, and private and public clients. Mecanoo’s model of Kaap Skil, with its façade comprised of sawn hardwood sheet-piling from the North Holland Canal is among the designs on display.

Unbuilt Heerlen at SCHUNCK* explores the development of the city of Heerlen through unbuilt architecture and urban planning. Thinking about the future means learning from the past. Mecanoo’s design for the high-rise complex Lange Jan & Lange Lies is one of the projects presented to demonstrate how ideas about Heerlen, its city centre and station and surroundings have changed over the years. Together with designs from Frits Peutz, Jo Coenen and others, Lange Jan & Lange Lies show the city’s rich architectural history.
