Shifting spatial boundaries, opening up the field, widening the view - with their installation, Staab Architekten counter the hermeticism of the bunker with suggestive spatial images that create an unexpected permeability and expanse. The installation is dedicated to the desire for space as a core architectural discipline, which Staab Architekten constantly reinvents through a combination of experimentation and precise design.
The Berlin-based firm was founded in 1991 by Volker Staab after winning the competition for the Neues Museum in Nuremberg. Further museum projects followed, such as the redesign of the Albertinum in Dresden or the extensions to the Richard Wagner Museum in Bayreuth, the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt am Main or the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin. To this day, most of the projects are the result of competition wins. Many of them are located in sensitive urban and landscape areas or reinterpret listed buildings. Over the years, public buildings for culture, education and research have emerged as the main focus of the firm's work.
With each new project, the Staab Architekten team pursues the goal of condensing the complex conditions of architecture into a design that is as simple and plausible as possible. The focus is on the essentials and is pursued down to the last detail with the conceptual use of form, material and color.
