Bodies and layers: these terms single out two fundamental
design strategies employed by the architectural practice, founded in Zürich in
2001. Referred to is not simply the material interpretation of a concrete
context within which a building emerges, but instead and in particular the
principles through which they are endowed with form - principles that are
capable of coming to terms with criteria of aesthetics and construction as well
as with the forms of resistance which are encountered within the architectural
discipline. Piet und Wim Eckert have developed a strategy for generating
organizational forms which involves the correlation and superimposition of
various layers within their buildings, and one that is capable of negotiating
antagonisms and contradictions. In view of the growing complexity of constructive
tasks and the increasingly divergent expectations with which architects are
confronted on the part of politicians, social forces, and clients, these
architects are particularly interested in solutions which can be implemented
via the weighing and prioritization of a new understanding of architectural
coherence, thereby allowing new forms of urban added value to emerge. The
thematic focus of the exhibition is on projects for residential and cultural
projects from Germany and Switzerland that were produced between 2008 in 2012,
for the most part in the context of the offices participation in competitions.
The projects are presented in the form of 12 three-dimensional, entirely white
presentation models which focus on the conceptually essential, and hence
formulate a clear distinction vis à vis the significance of the visible versus
the nonvisible. Legible as x-ray images or and full body scans, they strikingly
demonstrate the consistent interest on the part of these architects for giving
form to architectural strategies which have been designed specifically for
concrete locations. The visitors understanding of the projects is deepened
through selected details such as figure-ground diagrams, sections, and plans
which are presented on banners suspended from the ceiling. Their partial
perspectival superimposition - which interferes with the viewers capacity to
grasp the exhibition 'at a glance' - elicits an active exploration of the
display items, yet without prescribing a route through the presentation. Juxtaposed
in the exhibition are observations concerned with space-constituting form,
organization, and structure.
