Typotuning
Playing with space and metaphorically here with a word play: typo + tuning, the tuning of a typology.
The first big retrospective of kadawittfeldarchitektur’s projects demonstrates the most varied of typologies, carefully tuned by the spatial program, people, and the environment. Function and aesthetics. A city neighborhood is turned on its head on the book’s front cover. At the book’s end, comes the realization – it’s worth it.
“Added-Value Space”
The projects? Versatile. Not constrained by any one particular style. Whether it be a school, train station or adidas Design Center, they all acquire it, “added-value space,” public or semi-public, but always more than just the required spatial program. Summarized in a nutshell by the introductory essay from Ilka and Andreas Ruby.
Selected contents:
“From Riga with love,” “They might come back any moment,”
“Buckle up for beauty,” …
– a selection from the 21 built and unbuilt, small or big projects.
Branded with love, at times bizarre, funny or irksome subtitles. The intensity of the reading is decided upon by the reader himself!
