• Geared towards readers interested in unique architectural methodologies, in which context and human-centricity are paramount

Fourteen cinematic vignettes highlight projects as personified characters that have their own histories, dreams, secrets and stories to tell. Each vignette emphasises this relational culture and the practice of Chybik + Kristof in working with the common bonds within a space as being more important than any individual arguments and divisions within it.

With a passion for experimentation from all parties, the resulting pages stand apart from traditional monographs. From the design to the prose, the values of relationality and human-centric approaches are imbued in the pages, creating a cinematic reference guide to the practice of Chybik + Kristof.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The book addresses how the discipline can be used as a practice of human centred architecture. The book presents architecture as a spatial dialogue and an exchange between character and audience, book and reader, building and city. Fourteen cinematic vignettes highlight projects as personified characters that have their own histories, dreams, secrets and stories to tell. Each vignette emphasises this relational culture and the practice of CHK in working with the common bonds within a space as more important than any individual arguments and divisions within it.
