Our 7th stop is at Buchner Bründler Architekten (Basel , Switzerland) alongside Andreas Bründler.

Their practice puts all the common concepts into question: context, interior and exterior, in-between spaces, materiality, old and new...but all these general concepts are treated in a very specific way. In a way, archetypes turn out to be prototypes. “To make space is one of the major architectural topics. To think about space and the quality of space is our main source of thinking and doing. It is the secret value of architecture.”

But suddenly “the idea of architecture is not as simple as it was.”

“How does the architect deals with the overall questions, with the new questions, with future questions?”, one might wonder. “We could try to continue but we are convinced, already, that this cannot continue. We have to be inventive and we have to bring new ideas into form.”

“We have so many conversations with clients and constructers because they are afraid that the surface might not be perfect.” And this is a topic worth talking about.
