by Walter Zschokke In the architectural landscape of Vorarlberg, Hermann Kaufmann and Christian Lenz pursue a line with independently and jointly designed buildings that is based on careful construction and adheres to clear geometries and exact proportions. The building material wood and industrially produced wood-based materials are required to perform at their best in terms of design and building economy. Quite a few of their works have received appropriate recognition and awards. The optimal conveyance of the content offers not only experts but also laypersons access to the material, which is why, in addition to architects and potential builders, readers with a general interest in culture are also addressed.
