Article source: Bergmeisterwolf architekten Architecture is a project of development; it’s about inquiring, exploring new ground, about experimentation. It’s working with the landscape, trying to find integration with the material, with proportions. It’s about understanding pictures, their impacts and coloring. For us this process starts from the context and is culturally determined.
“Not in a place you shall build but the place you shall build.” The first step towards the project was the analysis of the surrounding landscape, examining it and trying to understand it from different point of views. The project provides for a new building near the old courtyard right above the neustift monastery. A game with interspaces, heights and views. The interiors are characterized by the openings which are bigger or smaller depending on the view and function of the space. The window frames enframe the landscape, they are the doorway for the landscape to come in. the big balconies do the same thing as the windows but amplify at the same time the interior space. While the landscape gets included in the architecture, the architecture becomes part of the surrounding landscape. The architecture follows the course of the topography. This characteristic is reflected also on the inside. The interior spaces are on different heights which reflects the development of the landscape and differentiate the function of the rooms. The main rooms are focused on the inner courtyard which forms the center of the whole building. Although the building seems to be a concrete construction the static structure is made up of wood. Wood holds concrete, another property of this building. Contact Bergmeisterwolf architekten
