BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES |

|
Sauerbruch Hutton has been among the most important and experienced representatives of sustainable building for over 30 years. Their buildings embody the concept of responsible modernism, which, for all the pictorial quality of the individual buildings, always seeks to communicate with the urban and ecological context, combining functionality and ecological performance with sensuality and intuition.
Founded in London in 1989, the studio with a staff of approximately 100 people is today based in Berlin. Since 2020 the office's responsibilities are carried by a group of 16 partners and 10 associates.
Sauerbruch Hutton's architecture has been recognised with numerous national and international awards. Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton received the Erich Schelling Prize for Architecture in 1998, the Fritz Schumacher Prize in 2003, the International Honour Award for Sustainable Building in 2010 and the Gottfried Semper Prize in 2013. In 2015, Sauerbruch Hutton was awarded the German Architecture Prize for the Immanuel Church in Cologne. |

Sauerbruch Hutton: Drawing in Space, Berlin (Germany), Tchoban Foundation. Museum für Architekturzeichnung / Museum for Architectural Drawing, 3 february / 5 may 2024
The exhibition drawing in space brings insight into the thinking that lies behind the coming-into-being of Sauerbruch Hutton's architecture. In this, drawing is an indispensable tool for exploring form, material and colour in both real and imagined space. The exploration of the ambiguity between visual and haptic space as well as in the oscillation between space, relief and surface are key interests that drive the work of these architects. Further, for Sauerbruch Hutton, colour plays a vital role in the spatial and sensory experience of the built environment. The focus is on the joy of dealing with space and material in a sensual way, the curiosity for technical and spatial innovation and the responsible use of the available resources. At first glance, this results in surprising building forms that, upon closer inspection, reveal an intensive examination of the often urban environment.
The drawings exhibited range from two to four dimensions, whereby the latter include the aspect of time. Prompting the corporeal sensibilities of the viewers, they serve to illustrate architectural ideas as well as project and represent specific spatial experiences.
The first room of the museum displays a selection of drawings from 35 years of the architects' studio. Executed in a variety of graphic techniques, they range from urban studies to architectural details.
The upper room presents an installation that has been specifically designed for this exhibition, which not only addresses the above-mentioned visual and tactile perception of space, but also the ubiquitous presence of media representation.
Sauerbruch Hutton on the installation: Where space becomes a drawing and the drawing becomes a space, viewers find themselves caught literally in the middle of the tension between image and sculpture, between surface and depth. |
