Mehr zum Buch
Hermann & Valentiny gained prominence in the 1980s with their villa in Rauchstraße, showcased during the International Building Exhibition in Berlin at the height of European postmodernism. The firm, with offices in Vienna and Remerschen, has since expanded its work across Austria, Luxembourg, and Germany, evolving in both form and content. Recently representing Luxembourg at the Venice Architecture Biennale, they showcased a successful fusion of architecture and art. The current report, "Jetzt | Now," highlights how conceptual inquiries and a selective approach to materials dominate their work. They often replace plaster with concrete, while glass retains its distinct significance. Metal mesh serves as a membrane, allowing historical elements to subtly emerge. Additionally, color plays a vital role in their designs, featuring not just black and white, but also vibrant hues like tomato red, melon yellow, and peppermint green. The report also emphasizes their holistic concepts, which thoughtfully integrate the living environment and natural surroundings into their architectural plans.
