About this book

Analytical thinking and holistic concepts
Low-tech buildings with strong architectural identities
Selected works from 25 years of international architectural practice

HOLODECK architects work on a wide variety of projects, from urban development to exhibitions. Their impressive body of work is proof that sophisticated architecture need not ignore ecological and social issues. The latter are consciously reflected from concept to realization. For example, HOLODECK have developed strategic solutions as alternatives to single-family homes, apply a sensitive approach to existing structures, and design buildings that make consistent use of natural conditions such as passive solar energy, airflow, cross-ventilation, and natural lighting.

This volume also reinterprets the typical architecture book. It consists of two separate yet connected parts; the first presents sketches, plans, studies and models, while the second features texts and lavish photo series.

Reviews

„[…] Holodeck [kombinieren] zwei massive Bücher zu einem perfekt konstruierten Ensemble aus Bildern, Texten, Plänen und Skizzen. […] gut proportionierte und gestaltete Räume und zahlreiche komplexe Detailzeichnungen – eine Seltenheit in heutigen Architekturpublikationen.“ (Christian Kühn in: Die Presse, 04.03.2023)

***

„It is very special book that gives one the (now rare) feeling that there is something in the physicality of a well-produced book that is precious in itself. Here the standard of the design and materials, and the craftsmanship of the printing, reproduction and binding, complement and enhance the craftsmanship that the content is celebrating.“ (R.J. Wheelwright)
