GSW Hauptverwaltung Berlin, Sauerbruch Hutton Architekten / GSW Headquarters Berlin, Sauerbruch Hutton Architects
In 1989 architects Matthias Sauerbruch and Lisa Hutton won the competition for an office building in Berlin, on a site located near Checkpoint Charlie. The recently completed final structure reacts with sensitivity to the historic structures located nearby, and has become a landmark in itself. It is also eco-friendly, using natural ventilation instead of air conditioning. This volume is an extensive collection of documents from all phases of the project.
WYSIWYG
The architecture of Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton redefines notions of ecologically aware building, emphasizing not only the sustainable use of resources but also the enhancement of the physical environment, using rich colours, textiles and materials.
Sauerbruch Hutton
Sauerbruch and Hutton are unique among contemporary architects in their redefinition of colour as an essential material of architecture. The polychromatic treatment of their buildings created over the past twenty years reflect and concentrate the colours, forms and energies of the contemporary city. Simultaneously image and sculpture, ornament and text, they allow the complex technical reality of a building to disappear behind a powerful aesthetic experience. Beside Sauerbruch Hutton's renowned buildings such as the GSW Headquarters in Berlin, the Federal Environmental Agency Dessau or Munich's Brandhorst Museum, this book also shows their more recent work. Highlighting the sensual force of colour, Noshe's vibrant photographs reveal the architects' search for the expression of an architecture of sustainability that transcends both technical perfection and energyefficient performance. Words by Jonathan Glancey, Louisa Hutton and Matthias Sauerbruch complement the photographs.
The Turn of the Century
A concise reader on European architecture's defining forces of the past 30 years German designer Matthias Sauerbruch (born 1955) and British designer Louisa Hutton (born 1957) have asked a diverse group of authors to reflect on the various conditions that have shaped the conception, production and circulation of European architecture over the past 30 years. While the essays collected in this volume include observations of Sauerbruch Hutton's buildings, the scope of the authors' conclusions about European design trends far exceeds the work of this particular agency. The text is supplemented by a photographic essay by Finnish artist Ola Kolehmainen, offering readers an immersive experience of the firm's most impressive accomplishments.
Neue Britische Architektur in Deutschland
The close relationship between the British and German architectural scenes -- developed over two centuries -- is a showcase for the work of British architects working in Germany. This stunning volume, published to coincide with the opening in July 2000 of the new British Embassy in Berlin designed by Michael Wilford, celebrates the range and excellence of new British architecture in Germany as an ongoing success. Since the 18th century, British architectural life has been enriched by great German figures such as Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the architects Gropius, and Mendelsohn, and the architectural critic Nikolaus Pevsner. British architecture, in the fullest sense of the term, arrived in Germany in 1977 when the London partnership of Stirling and Wilford won the competition for the new art gallery in Stuttgart. This milestone set the scene for British architects and German clients to work together consistently, producing a model for international cooperation, as well as a series of stunning buildings.
Berlin
The first edition of this book described a city in the early stages of transformation following the demise of the Wall and reunification. Berlin was then the largest building site in Europe and the centre of an international debate on urban development . The world’s leading architects – among them Jean Nouvel, Norman Foster, Josef Kleihues, Rem Koolhaas, Frank Gehry, Hans Kollhoff, Moore, Ruble, Yudell, Dominique Perrault, Richard Rogers, Renzo Piano and Shin Takamatsu – were queuing up to leave their mark on the place. This edition looks at the quality of the results, with projects including the restoration of the Reichstag, a department store by Nouvel, the finished Jewish Museum by Daniel Libeskind, the GSW building by Sauerbruch Hutton, Leon Bolhage’s Indian Embassy, and the joint Scandinavian Embassy, just two of the many interesting embassies to follow the government from Bonn to Berlin.
Architects Today
This volume offers both an introduction to and an insight into key contemporary architects as well as giving a snapshot of the varied nature of architecture today. For each architect there are details of their life and work and illustrations of their most representative and iconic buildings.
