Where Architecture Begins: Architects Open Their Offices
What does it actually look like in the offices of
people who think on a day-to-day basis about good architecture? Where do
the ideas and designs of contemporary architecture originate?
architectural firms, in German-speaking countries and internationally,
open their doors and show us the spaces in which they work. There is a
view of the outside of each architectural firm, one of the interior, and
a floor plan, where the work places of the owners are highlighted. This
not only exemplifies the similarities and differences between the
architects, but also the internal organization of the offices as well as
the attitude expressed by each respective building. The rooms in which
architects work and receive visitors today tell of a profession that is
itself a polyglot, down to earth, makeshift, honest, ironic, serious, or
playful. Employees work in skyscrapers and barns, in townhouses and
storage buildings, on the water and in the woods.
The exemplary views
of the seventy-six architectural firms are accompanied by a fundamental
observation of continuities and discontinuities of the
atelier/studio.
- Seventy-six architectural firms, in German speaking countries and internationally, show how and where they work
- Insight into the working environment of architects based on lavish photographs and unified floor plans
Wo Architektur entsteht: Architekten zeigen ihr Büro
Wie sieht es eigentlich bei denen aus, die täglich
über gutes Bauen nachdenken? Wo entstehen die Ideen und Entwürfe für
zeitgenössische Architektur?
76 Architekturbüros aus dem
deutschsprachigen und internationalen Raum gewähren Einblicke in ihre
Räumlichkeiten. Jedes Architekturbüro ist mit einer Aussenansicht, einem
Innenraumfoto und einer Grundrisszeichnung dargestellt, in der zudem
die Arbeitsplätze der Inhaber markiert sind. So werden nicht nur
Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen den Architekten anschaulich,
sondern auch die interne Organisation der Büros und die Haltung, die das
jeweilige Gebäude ausdrückt. Die Räume, in denen Architekten heute
arbeiten und Besuch empfangen, erzählen von einem Berufstand, der sich
polyglott, bodenständig, provisorisch, ehrlich, ironisch, seriös oder
verspielt gibt. Gearbeitet wird in Wolkenkratzern und Scheunen, in
Stadt- und in Lagerhäusern, am Wasser und im Wald.
Die
exemplarischen Einblicke in 76 Architekturbüros werden von einer
grundlegenden Betrachtung über Kontinuitäten und Brüche des Typus
Atelier/Studio begleitet.
- 76 Architekturbüros aus dem deutschsprachigen und internationalen Raum zeigen, wie und wo sie arbeiten
- Einblicke in die Arbeitsumgebung von Architekten anhand grosszügiger Fotografien und vereinheitlichter Grundrisse
