Franken Architects: GLASHAUS_06 Exhibition at the DAZ
»Brand X« Corporate Architecture – translating corporate identity into designed space – has become an increasingly important working field for architects. GLASHAUS_06 presents Franken Architekten (Frankfurt/Main), experts at tailored architectural solutions. With the exhibition »Brand X«, the awardwinning office visualizes their design process.
Franken Architekten was founded by Bernhard Franken (*1965) in 2002. Corporate Architecture – »brandscaping« – is the main focus of the young office. »Brandscapes provide a spatial context for the entrepreneurial vision of the client – visible, tangible, palpable to all the senses. They are never just functional, but rather communicate and transport messages effectively and intuitively«, formulates Franken Architekten in their mission statement. Franken stands for spectular spatial sculptures and narrative designs. GLASHAUS_06 focuses on three projects: their work for BMW, the design of the flagship store Homecouture as sub-brand for Raab Karcher and the Munich-based microrant Cosmogrill. www.franken-architekten.de

Sturm + Wartzeck: GLASHAUS_05 Exhibition at the DAZ
Sturm+Wartzeck, the young office of architects Susanne Wartzeck (1966) and Jörg Sturm (1966), present their work under the title »Archetype and Experiment« at GLASHAUS_05.
An extraordinary aesthetic clarity and original, often minimalist yet effective solutions distinguish the works of Sturm+Wartzeck. The office does not only focus on »classical« architectural projects: Their designs for furniture and accessories have won numerous awards, e.g. the red dot Design Award. They also engage in research projects on experimental building methods in the area of housing. »Archetype and Experiment«, also stands for the working approach of the office. In their architecture and designs, Sturm+Wartzeck do not strive for the spectacular, but focus on the essential. They question so-called standards and develop clear, functional and, at the same time, sensual designs. At GLASHAUS_05 six projects are presented: from design objects, such as a candle holder and a table, to experimental housing projects and buildings, such as the awarded house Hasenhof and the extension of the Museum of Contemporary Art Kunststation, Kleinsassen. www.sturm-wartzeck.de

Bucholz McEvoy: GLASHAUS_04 Exhibition at the DAZ
High Quality – Low Energy Design
Bucholz McEvoy Architects (Dublin / Berlin) are one of the most successful architectural offices in Ireland. Their projects combine ecology and design to create extraordinary solutions, which have been awarded by the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Royal Institute of Irish Architects and many others.
Already with their first realized project, Fingal County Council, Merritt Bucholz (born 1966) and Karen McEvoy (born 1962) broke new ground for sustainable, low energy design in the public sector in Ireland. Since then, the office has grown to 23 employees and has completed more than 20 building for public and private clients. At GLASHAUS_04, BMcEA will introduce their approach, focusing on their most recent project, Elm Park Development, a mini-city of over 100.000 sqm – with apartments, a health clinic, a hotel, offices, senior citizen housing and a leisure center – set in a green urban public space.
Drawings, prototypes and models visualize the design process. BMcEA will be present in Berlin beyond the exhibition – parallel to the show, they open their first office outside of Ireland in Berlin. www.bmcea.com

ROBERTNEUN™: GLASHAUS_03 Exhibition at the DAZ
The projects by ROBERTNEUN™ (Berlin) focus on the transformation of spaces into experiences – besides clubs and bars, the office has designed an art gallery, a show room and several delicatessen grocery markets. Their exemplary work shows how young architects develop creative and intelligent solutions of high architectural quality within a limited budget. For their Weekend Club at the 12th floor of a high-rise building, ROBERTNEUN™ was recently awarded with the Berlin Architectural Award.
Thomas Baecker (born 1969), Nils Buschmann (born 1972) and Tom Friedrich (born 1972) have been working together under the label of ROBERTNEUN™ for six years. The DAZ Glashaus exhibition not only features their realized projects but also highlights their working methods and the creative process that determine the final building or interior design. It is remarkable in the age of virtual space, renderings and 3D animation that ROBERTNEUN™ tests their ideas with physical models. The exhibition demonstrates this process and presents the Glashaus space as a 1:1 model. www.robertneun.de
