Sauerbruch / Hutton. Projekte 1990 - 1996.

by Matthias Sauerbruch

For the first time a detailed documentation is offered in monograph form on the work of Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton. This young Anglo-German architecture firm, active in London and now increasingly so in Berlin, is making for a welcome enrichment of the German architecture scene: an approach to architectural and town planning tasks inspired by the refreshing ideas of two famous London institutions, the AA School and OMA, and by Alison & Peter Smithson. In the case of Berlin this means a noteworthy alternative to the rigidity of the square/block/street/house: innovation in place of convention, cheeky intelligence rather than calming order, the city as a living organism, not the city of fixed grids.
