What do internationally active architects think about the responsibility of architects for solving future problems – such as the demographic change, the worldwide climate change or the constantly growing mega cities? This is just one of many questions discussed by the manufacturer and supplier of sanitary fittings GROHE in its recently published interview collection “What architecture has to accomplish nowadays: intercultural – international – interdisciplinary”.
16 architecture firms from Austria and Germany answered the questions about today’s responsibility of the architecture sector. Most of the interviewed architects operate worldwide and therefore deal with various cultures, political systems and climatic conditions on a regular basis. This is why the 170 pages documentary gives an insight into the current considerations and developments of the industry.
Renowned architects like Wolf D. Prix (Coop Himmelb(l)au), Christoph Ingenhoven (ingenhoven architects), Hadi Teherani, Dietmar Eberle (Baumschlager Eberle), Jürgen Mayer H. and Michael Schumacher (schneider+schumacher) share their thoughts. With international backgrounds all of them look at the challenges in architecture in the present and the future from different angles.
GROHE provides high-quality sanitary fittings to all types of international construction projects. These products meet highest requirements regarding quality, technology, design and sustainability. GROHE will present their full range of products and design solutions in hall 4.2 on the upcoming LivingInteriors, which takes place from January 13 – 19, 2014.
On the occasion of the publication of “What architecture has to accomplish nowadays” a panel discussion took place on November 28, 2013 at the Werkbund Galerie Berlin. Participants are the architects Jürgen Mayer H. from Berlin, Markus Kaplan of “BWM Architekten und Partner” from Vienna and Volker Halbach of the architecture firm “blauraum” from Hamburg.
