The "space ship II" is a further development of the art object that was on view in front of the Pinakothek der Moderne in 2016. It has been created as a floating living space and future architecture in times of global warming. As an exhibition of the Buchheim Museum, this installation floated on Lake Starnberg for three months near the bank in front of the museum and was inhabited by Markus Heinsdorff for several days in August 2018. |

Octagonal, 8,5 m high tower object that has been realised for the Hello Wood Architecture Festifal in Csórompuszta, Ungarn. An extremely open structure with minimal use of material provides the visitor with a 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The platform of 6 m diameter and 25 sqm can be used for exhibitions and research. The concept of an open structure and the connection between inside and outside space has been explored within multiple former works. |

Exhibition of a temporary light weight object in front of the Pinakothek der Moderne. The extremely light weight and modular construction is the object's foremost characteristic. It allows for a variety of construction and combination methods and can be used as an international deployable building kit. The art/architecture installation refers directly to contemporary challenges concerning low cost building and living space, in Germany as well as abroad. |

Reconstruction of a water station combined with a 10 m high cooling tower as central village object. The 28 sqm former cistern room has been remodelled into a naturally air-conditioned, shaded, and water providing space by using the traditional technique of cooling towers. The debris has been put into 7 gabiones that form a “recycling-bench-installation” in front of the tower. |

Space object in front of the castle Domaine de Boisbuchet. The extremely light-weight building kit construction consists of 0,6mm sheet holms with wire tension. Galvanized U-profiles from industrial production have been modified for the free standing square building. The permanent art installation is also a prototype for mobile and permanent living- and space modules, that can be used in different climatic regions. |

Wertstoff (resource) is the title of Markus Heinsdorff's series of art campaign in Munich with the subtitle "About the good and bad lack of collecting" How do we treat the things that surround us? When they are broken, do we repair them, keep them, dispose of them or recycle them? Which objects are especially important to us? How do we imagine the world in the future? |

Rotor – mobile hydropower station test run of a prototype in the river Loisach close to Beuerberg, Bavaria A water wheel with a vertical axis is placed in the center of an inner tube. The water stream of a river makes the turbine rotate and electricity can be generated with a dynamo which supplies a bulb. In this way the “rotor” visualizes the flow energy at day and night. At the same time the object animates to think about new developments of innovative renewable energy systems. |

water portrait – workshop Hans Grohe Water symposium, Black Forest For many years Markus Heinsdorff dedicates himself to water and its sensuous-aesthetic impressions. All different kinds of works, installations, objects and photographs or combinations of these media have been created. The intensive examination is emanates from the awareness that water is one of the most urgent topics of our times – therefore the goal of his works is the achievement of an intensive “contact” of people with water. |

Laboratory for Entrepreneurship Talk with Prof. Günther Faltin, freie Universität Berlin about sustainable furniture architecture For the world exhibition in Shanghai 2010 Markus Heinsdorff designed the German pavilion and developed modern bamboo furniture for the lounge. Bamboo is the material of the future to him. The furniture is multifunctional, comfortable and art objects. Low demand of resources, recyclable and the use of environmental friendly materials in futuristic design were the self-made preconditions. |
