REININGHAUS, GRAZ

The atmosphere and size of the location is inseparable linked to its traditional importance as a company. The aim of the study was, to include the characteristic of the open space, views and connections into the city and the surrounding landscapes and to transform them synergistically. New dimensions are added by the movement of large earth masses and the rotation and tilting of clods of earth. Therefore, a picture of a drifting, always moving clod becomes the metaphor for conversion and transformation.
Earth masses are removed and elsewhere raised, something new and original arises. However, transformation requires time, which infers from the development and disappearance over time of open spaces. Urban rooms rely on open, green spaces and vice versa. And the area in between disappears.
