Sauerbruch Hutton Archive

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Sauerbruch Hutton present for the first time a monograph covering their work over the 17 years that their practice has been in existence. This comprehensive book includes detailed descriptions of 60 works as well as 8 essays by the architects, and there is a complete register of all projects. This compendium will provide a new opportunity for insight into the work of sauerbruch hutton: it allows one to trace the development of their architectural thinking through the vehicle of realised projects, their texts, and a considerable number of unrealised works. While providing a panoramic overview the book also shows how each project was individually developed out of its physical and social context, with its form being a result of func- tional, technical, spatial and sculptural considerations.

The book will reveal Sauerbruch and Hutton’s understanding of their profession as an ongoing process of research. The theme of sustainability surfaces throughout the book as an integral part of the architects’ language—one that is recognisable for its organic corporeality and its spatial use of colour and other materials.
