Mobiversum , a collaboration between the universiät osnabrück professor, Renate Zimmer, and a Berlin based architects of J. Mayer H. created a sculpted environment that would introduce young visitors to the theme of “the movements of the urban environment”.
The installation of the arboreal is an educational platform that provides interventions for wide array of interaction so kids can understand the importance of sustainability. Kids can explore subjects that vary from mobility to cooking.
The wooden sculpture, which can be occupied, is inspired by trees with exposed roots to mimic a “magical forest where the imagination can run free”. The sculpture is composed of slides, stairs, and nets to encourage activity and movement for the visitors to use their motor skills to move with ease in the spaces.
The goal is to apply the knowledge they learn to carry our their lives as they grow into responsible adults to make for a better tomorrow.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
