Black mantis-like vehicle uses Cold War hangar as creative burrow

- When the doors of aircraft shelter 610 on the Soesterberg air base open, there’s no way to prepare for the “giant arthropod”, ”steel monster”, “monstrous black behemoth” that rolls out. Practically, it’s a kind of office on wheels- a mobile research space - that takes participants to new places, physically and mentally, as the structure rolls down the long runway at the former NATO base outside Utrecht (the Netherlands).
In 2013 brothers Ronald and Erik Rietveld - an architect and philosopher by training -, who operate “at the crossroads of architecture, art and philosophy”, were given the keys to a vacant aircraft shelter. Along with Studio Frank Havermans, they spent the next year and a half creating a structure that would cause visitors to rethink the history of the Cold War air base.
Secret Operation 610 is massive, 4.5-meter-tall (15 feet) beast. Towering above the metal “legs” is a diamond-shaped capsule that serves as an ambulatory think tank for scientists and artists looking to escape conventional boundaries. The space can be customized - a meeting table drops from the ceiling, chairs can be folded out of the floor and walls - and moves along a three-kilometer-long landing strip to assure that views/concepts/reality aren’t taken for granted.
Like so much of RAAAF’s work, Secret Operation 610 is a real-life “thinking model”. For the Rietvelds “every project is a manifesto in itself”. “Vacant NL”, created for the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale, “calls upon the Dutch government to make use of the enormous potential of inspiring, unoccupied buildings”; they calculate 10,000 in the Netherlands alone.
“‘The End of Sitting’ is a thinking model that questions our ‘sitting society’” and our reliance on chairs as necessary objects. They explored different standing positions and the possibility of “radical change for the working environment”.

What a wonderful problem to own...
This is such a great example of the cold war. It is cold, hard, and intimidating. What a creative idea! I love it! The no sit office was abrasive to me...but maybe that is what they wanted!
At my age, a working space needs *_a bit more comfort._* Soft Furnishings and a Pantry come to mind. My workshop (woodwork & metalwork) has an office chair, 3 cats and 2 dogs to cuddle when the mood strikes. I can eat in there and make cups of tea or coffee. I'm surrounded by a jungle garden. It all adds to my inspiration.
dav snow When what mood strikes? 😂😂😂😂😂
+Samson Idoko : Siamese cats are moody things Ha! Ha! 😺😺😺😺😺😺😺
i like it, it patrols the runways esp for antique aircraft displays to make sure that no one removes the runway or threatens the antique aircraft
You should put some projects up on YT and show your space sounds cool
So this is what the nihilists did after the Big Lebowski
wait.. where is Peter Stormare? Is "V.W. in the House" :-)
I want see him UnPimp this Ride... lol
fucking lol
As a nihilist I find your comment hilarious..... and pointless.
Now's the time on Sprockets when we dance.
that's what i was thinging
iscafan
its the da-da-da song lol
tears 🤣
I want mine with an armored steel cover with gun ports instead of those windows and we have us an awesome zombie Apocalypse vehicle.
This is perfect for evil vilains.
I was about to comment the exact same thing
The subject matter in this video turned out to be a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. The idea of ergonomics pertaining to full body positions just blows my mind, and making an old historic structure a monument by changing it slightly to become art...wow, just wow.
lbettymitchell Finally someone with the same thoughts!
How sad your commentary obviously as them you are oblivious to the planet and the conditions its living is, how sad, so, so blind, its a steel box as ugly as can possibly be.
These guys must really not have much to do?
And too much money to do it.
Didn't even need to watch this video, to like it. Already love it.
I suspect this is the reason this video has more likes than dislikes. Most people watched the first 30 seconds only.
What fun. Though I was waiting to hear, "this is the time on sprockets when we dance."
I feel that this could actually work in a movie or something
Some comments: boring. Pretentious. Pointless. I agree. Why does it seem more and more that many so called "artists" are just pretentious, arrogant people with their heads full of bull...manure. Your videos are usually more enjoyable and have more interesting people.
Thats what they said about the first car ever made.
We have loads of useless "artists" and we'll get many more since they get financial aid from the government (which they need cause noone buys their shit).
@@Slamdoxicalz Same thing here in Germany
Cool!This is fantastic! Big lk 58
The bunker monument took my breath away. Amazing.
Thank you I found it interesting. Look cool too. It gives you something to think about. And the number of buildings vacant. I sure the US has many more than that. It give you something to think about not telling you what to think. Thanks again.
That's crazy! It looks like something out of The Jetsons or Tron. But, I like it!
How to throw away a lot, lots of money!
That is so... disappointing.
Visually, the art, the architecture (in the black and white photos), and the vehicle are interesting.
But the hands-down, most useful and most interesting thing overall is the hangar itself, which is drab, concrete, and old. I could spend an entire afternoon walking around that old hangar, looking at the gates and the mechanisms, the lights, the roof, and so on, and I would be a lot happier with that than...
The vehicle. Or the "office spaces." The reason that office spaces feature normal-looking tables and chairs is because they work, and have done for a very long time. I see that office space and think three things immediately. 1) It looks like the movie "Brazil" and is terrifying as a result. 2) It looks like a workplace injury lawsuit just begging to happen, and 3) It looks completely impractical to a normal office worker.
They are trying to sell Kino to people who are required to watch a Mellisa McCarthy flick. So long as they aren't upset at the results, more power to them, but I do not want offices or houses to look like this in the future lol
Black mantis requesting permission to not take off from runway Two Niner
Can you please add the option for automatic generated closed captions/subtitles?
They are like majorly creative thinkers...and majorly artistic thinkers. I could totally hear it when they were talking.
It can’t be that secret with that loud ass alarm!! Lol
These guys did that cool bunker project!
This is definitely creative. These are ideas I've never heard of before. I really really love some of it, and some of it is interesting, but not something I would want to be exposed to for a long period of time, or responsible for actually doing. But it does inspire me to want to create furniture and useful alternative vehicles too. They would probably be very different in a lot of ways, but I like some of the things that these designers created.
Goddamn this would ve useful in the apocalypse. With relevant modifications of course
There are million things more important in this world! I hate the looks, the wasting of time and effort! Channel this energy in solving real problems!
Looks hard and cold. It's design is interesting and out of the box, but also derives a feeling of being in a white padded box inside a prison.
cant believe that thing is made of wood. love it!!! very nice project!
Coming to an indie sci fi film near you.
To absolutely change the perception of a space (interior and exterior)-- magnificent.
Great production. Brought me back to my college, high concept thinking mind and taking the time to develop a project theory Thank you .
Maintaining the sensible spirit of military spending !
Bingo! Waste waste waste ...

Whattttttttt this is amazing. Such dedication to an idea!
*I bought 7 of these black-mantis vehicle / work spaces and I can tell you first hand they are expensive & slow but they remind me of my favorite videogame spaceinvaders. I have no money and my wife and kids have left me.*
the featured project was a curiosity for sure. then they started talking through their other projects...brilliant. 'the end of sitting' was a great concept. it really sparked my imagination for how a future office task appliance might look and work.
“The end of sitting” showed some people sitting.
Wow! Mind BLOWN! Thank you!
What an awesome work, it makes me try to get into that creative mind.
I'm getting an evil genius vibe from this whole thing.
Looks like an incredible movie set.
thats the most epic tiny house i ever see
An amazing piece of engineering. Love it.
The chairs that they were so proud of was the only thing remotely useable.
The other stuff was just a waste of space. Could just have put a flower pot
on the runway and call it art or whatever to save the runway.
Its even a neat concept of an interior space, if you lost the ridiculous jetsons-esque stilt legs and treads that make the nasa crawler look like an f1 racecar. Put some storage into the bulkheads, maybe a couple bed racks that fold down over the chairs when theyre folded down so its actually habitable, figure out some sort of toilet solution and a way to make a meal and boom. slap that habitat unit on an LMTV or similar vehicle and hit the road.
fantastic!
PERFECT, for Burning Man! Add 50,000 watt sound system, LED lighting, and let the fun begin!
Add a shower and toilet, sleeping chamber...perfecto! MOBILE DJ BOOTH!
Very nice
Interesting, not quite sure of its application. Wild workspaces.
No application. First the form, then the search for function. Money to burn
Urban Woodworking Luckily they used a lot wood. The other stuff (office) are interesting dynamics/application. 🤔😊
public notice !
criminals located in southern california
sabotage homeowners and threaten poeple !
a neighborhood watch group was removed fully, in 2018, july
threatening homeowners and trying gestapo new world order things on peple here !
warning ! be aware !
Amazing! Like out of a futuristic film or time and this group of artistic architects a real jewel for architecture. I really ask myself though how you manage to meet all these amazingly interesting and creative people, watching your videos for the past 5 years, besides seeing your 3 kids grow up ;-).
Wild!
This sooo awesome!
The impact of environment on creativity cannot be overstated. Everybody is saying this is impractical. This is true, but is practicality the only criteria of a space? This is the case in office cubicles, and walled in conference rooms. Working in a space like this produces inspiration by the kilowatt, and that is why the people who work in it are all working on cutting edge projects. Innovation requires inspiration, and cubicles and practical work spaces have a disparity in this area. Yeah, all the people bitching in the comments would be uncomfortable physically working day after day in this space, operating like a call center. But if you're a creative, this space would be priceless. Now enjoy this for what it is not, which is your practical and mundane work space you prize so highly.
I like it, it works on so many levels
Used to be stationed there in 84 - 86, fun times.
Would be fascinating if this design can be used for winery tours.
wow the batmobile got really slow
Wish I could just buy/ takeover a giant hangar and build whatever I want in it!!!
👍Wow, very cool. I love how they think outside the box. It would be a cool tiny house too. 😃
Fantástica!, maravillosa!, una obra de arte increible!
I like this very much. Actually, all of the RAAAF projects in this video are absolutely fascinating.
appreciate their sacrifice of their spare times in order to achieve better living
„Welcome, Mr. Bond“ *pets cat*
Wouw very interesting this approach !
Thinking outside the usual box, very nice.
Very alien tech like but amazing. Reminds me of the spaceships from the movie War Of the Worlds.
Good and interesting concept. Reminds me of those futuristic cars where people can hold meetings in the car when it is on auto pilot. However the external shape is too irregular and the legs of this vehicle takes up too much surrounding space.
There are some interesting thoughts behind this ....
You might look into "SOUND INSULATION?
This looks like it belongs on the battlefield
At the beginning that thing made me think of a mechanical spider
That is cool!
One half of me thinks 'well, that's cool and different' and the other half thinks 'what a fucking pretentious, useless waste of plywood'.
The second half is probably the more dominant.
It could be the inside of a space craft...a SF movie could be filmed in it...
Interesting project. I like the idea of exploring alternative work spaces and actual behavior in using office space. Hard surfaces make loud work spaces, I think. I also wouldn't want to touch/work on surfaces people walked on.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INVENTION OF MANKIND ALL OVER THE AGES. I WANT ONE BUT PINK.
Well I wasn't expecting it to be Dutch, Swedish, German, Polish even, but i didn't expect it to be Dutch. Can't say why. What's with the shorts?
great as a late-night, mobile radio station/(studio)!
I see a mobile command center used during emergency flooding from hurricanes or tornadoes. It didn't sweep me off my feet. We've seen vehicles like this before, (Stars Wars movies) done in a more grand style, so it's derivative.
Wow, just wow.
Wow this belongs in a science fiction movie amazing!
waoow HEBAT. beautiful project
Useless waste of resources.
I get the idea of the moving space to work in, but the way they execute it seems so impracticable. The designs on the irregular office space idea was really wasteful on materials and just seems really excessive. These guys are geniuses with their ideas, but I really feel like they aren't executing them fully.
Put a DJ booth up front, install MASSIVE speakers and take it to burning man. Best use for a currently useless machine.
Reminds me of a vehicle from the book The Elephant's Airplane and Other Machines
Come direbbe un mio amico “A me me pare na cagata”.
WELCOME, MY SON;
WELCOME, TO MACHINE!!
Amazing this creativity. And the boldness.
Fascinating... Would make a very nice movie set for a fan made Star Trek film or series...
the space, space, space, in the space, space
Is there a trap door in the bottom of it for dropping your poop?
Just poop in it and when its full Just flush The Lot!!!
K Simpson
No, just to drop enerving working partners
Amazing! Though a another reason folks mo be while sitting is uncomfortableness. Order one, I wish!
c'est dessiné comme un pot de peinture pour repeindre les bandes de signalisation sans gêner la circulation
those "workspace" areas look like something a director would use in some futuristic dystopian movie, like Director David Lynch or some other Director. Where everyone is a Bot, or a Gamma, Delta, or an Epsilon working in a futuristic slave shop -- like in Texas.
It kind reminds me of something I saw on Invader Zim, or the MalwareBytes Logo on their App, or something designed by Luigi Colani.
If you made several of these for the homeless, then they could move their shanty town every few days, and it would be like a scene out of War of Worlds, starring tom Cruise. lol
creative way of getting around the rules..........thinking outside the box for sure. Not sure how sustainable it is. Who or what is funding this? Do they have a product base that allows them the inflow of capital to explore the possibilities or is it all government funded?
most "artists" in the Netherlands are government funded cause noone buys any of their crap. I doubt this is an exception
The Netherlands - of course it's in the Netherlands. What an amazing creation and a fascinating concept for an active working environment. Very cool!
Whaoooooo amazing creation
'review' a Deltec home I find the round shape of the home interesting and surprisingly useable as since there aren't any support beams needed in the center the home can be set up ANY way you want, but I would loovvee a deeper look could you pls invetigate ty
“Greetings, humans.”
WOW!!!!!!!
A very very slow motorhome, which would be a nightmare to park!
Is it art? Does it connect to and feed my spirit? No.
I'm sure the creative people of the Netherlands could come up with some other solutions for turning this place into an environmentally-friendly, vibrant community.
