Henley Halebrown

by Heinz Wirz

Published 1 February 2018
Designs by Simon Henley and Gavin Hale-Brown are inspired by the dominant social structures of the
location as well as its cultural and architectural characteristics. This volume presents a number of buildings
that are often inserted into the dense urban texture of London with a self-assertive, poetic expression.

by Heinz Wirz

Published 11 July 2022
The meticulously, carefully and solidly developed work by the London architects Daniel Rosbottom and David Howarth has continuously grown since 2000. Recent important buildings include the concert hall in Bodo (Norway), which has an outstandingly elegant and festive character, and the housing for the elderly in Aarschot, Belgium, which is intelligently integrated into the small-town structure.

Cover of Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven - Rotterdam
In this volume, the Dutch architects Ninke Happel, Floris Cornelisse and Paul Verhoeven present public buildings and housing developments. Each of them is entirely developed out of the atmosphere of the location and the nearby surroundings. In terms of their materials, type, form and expression, the remarkable buildings are harmoniously integrated into the continuum of their context.

Florian Nagler – Munich

by Heinz Wirz

Published 21 March 2022

Florian Nagler’s work is a veritable “recherche patiente”, as his buildings have an experimental character. For instance the “research buildings” in Bad Aibling are exercises on what building with wood, plastered brick and concrete can each mean. The Wohnen am Dantebad housing development reinterprets the traditional pergola.

Ryan W. Kennihan – Dublin

by Heinz Wirz

Published 11 July 2022

Originally from Chicago, Ryan W. Kennihan has been working in Dublin since 2007 and has taught at various universities. His architecture is reserved, peaceful and elegant. Each building is a little gem, where every detail reflects the architecture. For instance the Vita Family Center in Roscommon assumes the volume and appearance of the surrounding traditional buildings, while varying the details in an astute and subtle way.

Cover of bergmeisterwolf – Brixen/Bressanone

For over 20 years, an extremely lively and outstanding architectural scene has been thriving in South Tyrol. Gerd Bergmeister and Michaela Wolf have been one of its main protagonists from the very beginning. Their buildings are surprising, imaginative solutions that sound out the entire spectrum of architecture: the formation of space, shaping, construction, materialisation and integration into the Alpine context.
