Interview
feld72: Space for possibilities
The feld72 team does not like to be circumscribed by the classic definition of a professional architect. They work in both art and architecture, taking on small and large commissions as well as temporary projects. Anne Catherine Fleith, Michael Obrist and Mario Paintner explain why the dialogue with other parties and the participatory approach are important tools for them and what role strategic thinking plays in this process.

Light interventions
When it comes to the conscious use of light in architecture, it is possible to distinguish two extremes. On the one hand there is the kind of lighting that supports and enhances the architectural space. This is the case, for example, where the illumination corresponds with the construction, or where routes through a building are accentuated with light lines. On the other hand there are many projects where the application of light tells a different story, produces a contrast.

Out of obscurity
Buildings from the margins of modern history
The house that Giuseppe Perugini built for himself in Fregene, outside Rome, is the crystallization of his experiments with an architecture that combines kinematic elements, using rotating structures and suspended prefabricated modules. According to Giampiero Sanguigni it reflects 'the desire to realize a potentially infinite architecture'.
