Atmosphäre

Aside from keeping the rain out and producing some usable space, architecture is nothing but a special-effects machine that delights and disturbs the senses.

And summer isn’t a time. It’s a place as well. Summer is a moving creature and likes to go south for the winter.

What I have sought to achieve is a spatiality that stimulates the human spirit, awakens the sensitivity and communicates with the deeper soul.

The indistinction of inside and outside leads to the discovery of another dimension.

Der Begriff der Atmosphäre stört den Architektur-Diskurs – er verfolgt diejenigen, die versuchen, ihm zu entkommen, und entgeht denjenigen, die ihm hinterherjagen.

At the turn of the millennium, the great challenge for architects is the re-sensualisation, re-mythologisation and re-poetisation of the human domicile.

Architecture, sculpture and painting are specifically dependent on space, bound to the necessity of controlling space, each by its own appropriate means. The essential thing that will be said here is that the release of esthetic emotion is a special function of space.

All rooms are passages of light.
