Barkow Leibinger, an American-German architectural firm formed in 1992, achieved instant acclaim with the completion of its innovative laser factory in Germany. The firm's functional, undogmatic style of architecture can be seen in the 15 major projects presented in this monograph. Designs include the award-winning American Pavilion at Expo 2000, the Start-up Center in Switzerland and the biosphere for the National Horticultural Show 2001 in Potsdam.
Barkow Leibinger's Bricoleur Bricolage atlas is a historical tool of an altogether different sort from the sixteenth-century European projects and their many descendants interested in the mapping of all history. Yet this atlas shares with its early modern origins a belief in comprehensiveness, orderliness and chronology - in this case, of the projects, research and ideas that the Berlin office of Barkow Leibinger have undertaken during the past few years, or to be more precise, since such activities were catalogued last, in Barkow Leibinger: An Atlas of Fabrication, published by the Architectural Association (AA) in 2009.
