About this title

Synopsis

This compendium offers a new insight into the work of Sauerbruch Hutton. The development of their architectural thinking can be traced completely from the texts of the architects, the considerable number of unimplemented designs, and realized or under construction projects, such as: the GSW headquarters in Berlin, the Federal Environment Agency in Dessau or the Museum for the Brandhorst Collection in Munich. On one hand, the book provides a far-reaching overview, and on the other hand it makes clear how each project was individually developed out of its structural and social context, and how the respective forms emerge from functional, technical, spatial and sculptural considerations. The book reveals how Sauerbruch Hutton understands their work as a process of continuous research. In doing so, the focus of sustainability repeatedly appears throughout the book as an integral part of their interest. In addition, the architects have developed their own language, which is recognizable by the spatial use of color and material as well as their organic corporeality.
