Bernd Schmutz Architekten

Bernd Schmutz has been invited by SUMMACUMFEMMER’s chair for Entwerfen und Stadterneuerung at Universität der Künste Berlin to give a talk and sneak preview of the book on ‘Jaretti & Luzi’s work in Turin.

Repair works continue in Garkau with a new roof for the listed barn. The timber construction reflects the strong material presence of Hugo Häring’s design from 1924. Works will continue inside with the concrete structure and fit-out to allow for new use and flexible programming.

As part of the series ‘Meeting with ordinariness’ Bernd Schmutz has been invited to give a talk at Viper Gallery in Prague, with the title ‘Composite Orders’. The event will take place at the gallery, on 16.05.23, at 19.00.

Our project for entirely reconfiguring an existing building with originally 4 flats to meet new passive house standards has started on site and is aiming for completion by end of the year. The original building fabric is reused wherever possible and transformed where needed, using both original and new building techniques, e.g. insulation made from soil, hemp and timber.

Bernd Schmutz has been invited to join the final reviews as a guest critic of this year’s school programme at the University College Dublin, School of Architecture.
