Bernd Schmutz Architekten

Our proposal for the transformation of a housing estate in Hamburg into a lively garden city has been selected for the Hamburg section of the exhibition ‚Together‘, on display at Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg, and its publication ‚Hamburg MORGEN‘. A free copy will be available at the museum which will hopefully soon be able to open its doors.

We are pleased that our building for Rödingsmarkt in Hamburg with a new project of offices and housing has been featured as part of the publication ‘Hamburg – Stadträume bauen. Positionen, Pläne, Projekte’. The book by Olaf Bartels and ‘Behörde für Stadtentwicklung und Wohnen’ compiles recent projects and new perspectives for various areas of the city. It is now available from Jovis publishers.

Our contribution for ‘Alternative Histories’ has now moved to Dublin and is on display at the Irish Architectural Archive from 02 December 2020 to 26th February 2021. The exhibition, curated by Jantje Engels and Marius Grootveld in collaboration with Drawing Matter and the Architecture Foundation has been installed in the elegant Georgian rooms and assembles a unique international group of architects.

Bernd Schmutz will be guest critic for final presentations at Prof. Christina Köchling’s unit at Technische Universität Dresden, on the topic of schools. The unit examines how the existing ‘Dresden Type’ which is spread around the city can be transformed and which new typologies can add to the landscape of schools as places for learning and gathering.

Bernd Schmutz will be guest critic at the final crit of Peter St John’s Unit 12, at the The Cass, Faculty of Architecture at London Metropolitan University. The unit has been looking at the topic of transformation, applied with the design of an architecture school at its new location.
