Behnisch Architekten have a current international
reputation as one of the most
successful architectural offices in Germany.
Taking up the formal tradition of
the "Stuttgart School" with its open,
transparent and atmospherically convivial
buildings, the office's projects are
characterized by a consistent ecological
orientation. The aim is to create energy-efficient
and sustainable architecture, no
longer to be seen as a burden on future
generations.
This volume from the PORTFOLIO series
presents all the important international
projects by Behnisch Architekten from
1996 to the present day. Lavish photo
series and plans document their unique
architectural language. A detailed text by
Falk Jaeger and an interview with the
architects provide additional insights
into the office's philosophy and working
method.
