Lang / Baumann's abstract spatial interventions meld architecture with
art, urbanism, and installation. More is more? The Swiss architecture
office Lang / Baumann is renowned for its bold spatial interventions.
They are colorful, striking, and rigorous --a far cry from the restraint
typically shown by their countrymen. Beautifully presented in this
monograph, the work of these masters of experimental spatial design is a
call for more audacity in using large-scale geometric abstraction and
pop art to create compelling temporary installations or to showcase
spaces and brands. While their radical embellishment of the streets of
Swiss mountain village Vercorin with bright lines garnered them
worldwide attention, Lang / Baumann have also done a variety of other
work that gives new impulses to our eyes and thoughts. They have, for
example, used swaths of color, fingers of light, massive pipes,
inflatable elements, or absurd staircase constructions to project plans,
designs, analyses, and technical drawings because, well, more is more!
