Constructive Abundance.

A cooperation between the Chair of Construction Heritage and Preservation, gta exhibitions and the gta Archives.

The exhibition offers a new perspective on selected projects by the architectural practice of Theo Hotz (since 2011 Theo Hotz Partner Architects). The exhibition focusses on the vast range of constructive elements in the office’s oeuvre, shedding light on their technical as well as their aesthetic relevance, and venturing a reading that complexifies the modest technical form that is so often ascribed to Hotz to one of richness in artistry. This position brings together what has otherwise often simplistically been seen as a paradox: High tech vs. heritage, innovation vs. conservation. Hotz’s specific position in what has been categorized as high-tech architecture is cause for its re-examination, in consideration of how to deal with the conservation of such builds in the future.
