x architekten is a group of
committed architects who develop conceptual positions on contemporary
architecture through project-related work.
As a mathematical variable, x
stands for openness. x demands the plural: the team with its flat hierarchy
replaces the professional profile of the architect as lone fighter. The
dynamics of a permanent work process oscillating between creativity and (self-)
criticism permit the emergence of a quality standard above the capacities of
each single member.
The activities of x architekten comprise the full
range from housing and office construction, buildings for industry and
commerce, shopping and entertainment projects to design and urbanism.
