Behnisch Architekten

Falk Jaeger

Behnisch Architekten have a current international reputation as one of the most successful architectural offices in Germany. Taking up the formal tradition of the “Stuttgart School” with its open, transparent and atmospherically convivial buildings, the office’s projects are characterized by a consistent ecological orientation.

The aim is to create energy-efficient and sustainable architecture, no longer to be seen as a burden on future generations. This volume from the PORTFOLIO series presents all the important international projects by Behnisch Architekten from 1996 to the present day. Lavish photo series and plans document their unique architectural language. A detailed text by Falk Jaeger and an interview with the architects provide additional insights into the office’s philosophy and working method.
