Sauerbruch Hutton

Non-standard shapes, complex curves, self-generating patterns, all have proliferated in the last few years in response to the innite capacities of the computer to generate new forms of seemingly unprecedented complexity, a proliferation that thus far seems as immune to the worldwide economic downturn as it often has been to the real problems of architecture. In this hyperactive field of formal experimentation the work of Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton, with its eye-catching pillboxes, boomerang-shaped plans, intricate mosaics of colour patterns and often free-form perimeters, stands ever more resolutely apart, maturing since before the dawn of digital dominance and in a very different crucible of ideas and values. This new issue of 2G magazine presents 15 works and projects of the German-British team, amongst them the Museum Brandhorts in Munich or the Municipal Savings Bank in Oberhausen.
