Profile TWARC and Tillmann Wagner
Architects
The architectural work of Tillmann Wagner
is dedicated to both conceptional architectural research and their realization in a built environment:
The TWARC studio concentrates on prearchitectonic studies concerning conceptional
and experimental research on architectural themes in drawing, perception and
thought.
In dialogue with artists and/or works of
art and literature work-series of basic architectonic investigations as “space
of veil”, “Vermeer series”, “cameras and obscuras”, “Piranesi series”,
“flexions on architecture” arise in different medias of prearchitectonic
notation as instruments, drawing-prints and abstracts. Works have been shown at the Cooper
Union NY, the Eigen+Art Gallery in Berlin and recently at the Hollywood-Gallery
in Los Angeles.
Since 1994 the architecture studio Tillmann Wagner Architects is operating in
a wide range of urban to the architectural design from conceptional thought,
realization on the construction site, furnitures and product-design up to the
intense dialogue with and service to the arts.
The office’s work is characterized by
operating along the thresholds of analogue and digital, manual and prefab,
sensual roughness and perceptual
refinement.
Revolving themes of the architectural work are perceptual
techniques, interactions between
image and space, strategies of organic
and growth and questions of spiritual and physical inhabitation and
shelter. Frequent design strategies are robust concepts of architectural poetry
and the subversive.
Architectures of Tillmann Wagner Architects have been awarded with
the Award for Plaster-Buildings 2004 and the Heinze Architects Award 2010 for
New Buildings.
