Bernd Schmutz Architekten

Our model for ‘Alternative Histories’, an exhibition co-curated by Jantje Engels and Marius Grootveld in collaboration with Drawing Matter and the Architecture Foundation in London, will now be on display at CIVA in Brussels from 6-29 September. To coincide with the opening on 6th September, a new book accompanying the show will be released and is available here.  It will comprise an essay by Marius Grootveld and new photography of all 85 models by Thomas Adank and Guus Kaandorp, alongside the original drawings held at the UK-based archive of Drawing Matter.

We have been shortlisted for an invited competition to develop a mixed-use project for a large site in the centre of Hamburg, along Alter Wall. The project will be carried out in collaboration with Adam Khan Architects from London and comprise hotel, cultural use, offices, retail and housing.

Bernd Schmutz has been invited by the Faculty of Architecture and Landscape at Leibniz University in Hannover to hold a lecture on the 25th June at 18.00, titled “nach der Moderne, vor der Moderne“.

Bernd Schmutz has been invited with Thomas Baecker as a guest critic for the presentation at the chair ‘adreizehn’ led by Prof. Bettina Kraus at TU Berlin to review the students’ projects of this semester.

The book on Jaretti & Luzi’s work in Turin has now been announced for autumn by Zurich publisher Park Books. It will show the architects’ extraordinary broad range of buildings, starting in the mid 50s with their particular liberal position within post-war Italian architecture. The monograph, conceived in collaboration with Dominik Fiederling, will comprise new photography of all buildings by Pk-Odessa, a catalogue of drawings and texts, a.o. by Adam Caruso and an interview with Aimaro d’Isola. Designed by Esther Rieser.
