Urban resilience, identity-defining architecture, flexible building and urban structures, repurposing and renovation: the principles of sustainable planning have always defined the architecture of KSP Engel. What are the tools – besides curiosity, creativity, methodological expertise, and a strong creative drive – that enable high-quality, aesthetically sophisticated architecture and urban planning? Formally restrained, but all the more clear in the style of the structural design?
The exhibition Tools for Better Cities by KSP Engel at the Museum Angewandte Kunst shows the wealth of experience and knowledge that the planners draw from. Furthermore, it presents how the clarity and precision of function and aesthetic, which are typical for KSP Engel, are developed in the design process based on the respective requirements and the nature of the construction task. The consistent goal is the creation of sustainable buildings and neighbourhoods, both nationally and internationally.
