Abstract

Laws, codes and regulations usually seem to hinder architectural creativity. Yet, that’s not always the case. In more than twenty years of career, German architect Arno Brandlhuber has sought for ways in which law can be a trigger for architectural design. Through various collaborations, his practice Brandlhuber+ became one of the most forward thinking voices in the contemporary scene. This interview gives an insight into these ideas explaining how restrictions, commonly perceived as obstacles, can be at the basis of architectural strategies.
