Architecture for the non-place

Architecture for the non-place
(On shelling and storytelling)

The Munich-based architecture firm Stenger2 stands for openness towards the task at hand, without convention or ideological blinkers.
The office partners are in favour of an architectural transparency that reveals the function of the buildings. Architecture that demystifies, that shouts when it is loud and that remains silent when it is not required.
For them, architecture is an overarching meta-structure. It creates space, exerts a subversive and unnoticed influence on the human user – beyond the obvious and the flavourful. As architects, they have a responsibility not to cause any damage.
