Présentation de l'éditeur :
Associates since 1987, the Austrian architects Florian Riegler and
Roger Riewe, with their professional practice in Graz and Cologne,
tackle their projects in a subtle and practical way, renouncing formal
authorship as the motor of the design process.
Their buildings respond
to the environment and to the cultural baggage of society without
wishing to offer the spectator a stunning form with pre-existing
symbolic meanings.
Quite the opposite, in fact: Riegler Riewe’s
buildings reveal themselves to be places in which the user has a highly
active role in the definition and perception of the spaces.
This number
of the magazine 2G demonstrates how their planning strategies enable
them to readily tackle buildings of an ever-increasing size and
complexity, from transport infrastructures such as the rail stations in
Innsbruck and Vienna or the airports in Graz and Hamburg, taking in
educational buildings like the Computer and Electronics Institutes of
the University of Graz, complex residential projects and the football
stadium in Cologne.
