Constructs
Konstrukte/Constructs Bearth & Deplazes - Each and every building assignment represents a specific theme to be discovered and developed. Their individual buildings are aphorisms that elucidate their architectural ideas and intentions only when seen as a sum total. Sensitive reflections made by Ákos Moravánszky accompany the extensive monographic representation of the works of the architects to date. A fascinating essay by Andrea Deplazes deals with the complex specifications of the construction task.
