Summary:
Bolle Tham and Martin Videgard founded their architecture firm in Stockholm in 1999. Their House K and Double House received widespread attention; they finally won international recognition with the Kalmar Museum of Art (which opened in 2008). They are among the young architects invited by Herzog & de Meuron to participate in the Ordos 100 project in China and are currently planning the new School of Architecture on the campus of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm; their Moderna Museet Malmo has just opened its doors. In their designs, Tham and Videgard take as their starting point the Nordic tradition closeness to nature and economy of means as well as the concrete parameters of the project on which they are working; the result, however, is buildings with surprising and fascinating forms.

Glossy pictures to leaf through, texts that no-one, except architectural critics, wants to read? not likely! Architecture tells stories. exciting, wistful, unusual or even quite mundane ones. High time to also present it this way. and to write about it this way, so that it is a pleasure to read about architecture. For everyone who has a roof over their heads. everyone who lives.
