“By creating a central Federal Institute for Photography, the competences for restoration, archiving, conservation and digitisation of old photographs, which have so far been decentralised but diverse, are to be bundled in one place. The task is to design a centre of excellence for the preservation of Germany’s photographic and visual heritage.”

“An indoor swimming pool for Kleinbasel: The implementation of a new use in the form of an indoor swimming pool in an existing spatial structure should thus create places of liveability and a common identity for the Basel population. Concepts that create overlaps between different uses have proven to be viable. Thus, not only a swimming hall should be designed, but also a concept of use should be developed for the building as a whole with which it is associated.”
We are happy to announce that we have, together with Donet Schäfer Reimer Architekten and Studio Vulkan, received the second prize in the competition for a new primary school in Bottmingen, near Basel

Kai Zipse is a guest critic at the final reviews in the studio of Kawahara Krause at the University of Kassel, on Wednesday, 14th July 2021.
“Architektur bedarf einer stringenten Logik und kann dennoch Unschärfe zulassen. Flux Order will in der Vereinigung des scheinbar Gegensätzlichen das Ungewisse als Potential begreifen. „Architecture as Cave“ beschreibt Architektur, deren räumliches Potential die individuelle Aneignung erfordert. Dem gegenüber steht die „Architecture as Nest“, in der die räumliche Situation durch die Architektur konstruiert ist. Im Spannungsfeld dieser Dualität soll im Entwurf eine Struktur gefunden werden, die den Spielraum der Möglichkeiten zwischen definiert und aneignungsfähig auslotet und somit das Potential des Wandels zum Ausdruck bringt.”
Our project “Common Land” receives the 2nd prize in the competition for cooperative housing “Fleur de la Champagne” in Biel.

“This studio is founded on the belief that an understanding of how things are made brings an intimate engagement with the problems and possibilities of the real world. We are interested in the material life of buildings, how we process the fabric of our environments to construct spaces. From local resources to global trade; vernacular methods and new technology and auxiliary industrial processes -we will consciously appraise our materials.”
Weyell Zipse is part of the publication “image [im-ij] \ ˈim-ij \” by Archaic Studio.
“A design and communication tool, the image remains a decisive and crucial step in the definition of any project, whether it materializes through its construction or persists under the form of paper architecture.
With Image, Anja Dotter invites us to feel the pulse of a young guard of European architects by questioning them about their relationship to images.
Through a series of interviews with emerging architects, photographers and image makers, Image highlights and confronts different approaches to the architectural image in a world where it circulates, travels and is shared more than ever!”
