Résumé:
Helle Juul and Flemming Frost have been busy contributing assignment solutions from dialogue-based consultancy to concrete planning, designing and realization of architecture. The signature of their work is the discussion about context and scale with respect to urban time and space. Juul & Frost manifest their professional conceptual foundation through a philosophical and theoretical approach to architecture. There is a focus on the architectonic idea, which is consistently pursued and tested throughout the entire course of the project. The origin of their work was established through the editorial responsibilities for the Danish journal of architecture, SKALA, and the running of an architectural gallery, also known as SKALA, at the end of the nineteen-eighties. In the nineteen-nineties, Juul & Frost continued working as curators of large scale urban exhibitions, symposia and workshops known as SKAZKI Architecture Forum.Comprehensively unified planning and the contextual angle stand as indispensable points of reference for Juul & Frost, regardless of the assignment's scale.

Last June, with the accompaniment of international media attention, the decision was made for a second stage of the Mariinsky Theater in St Petersburg.

It will fully meet present day performance and technical demands. In order to underline the importance of this project for the Russian Federation, an international invited competition was launched in which the French architect Dominique Perrault, already an established figure among the world's architectural elite due to the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, emerged as the winner.

Résumé:
In order to encourage the networking of autonomous individuals, free of monumentalized institutions of culture and in the name of revitalizing the true, unseen culture of Berlin, the center of the city is declared as a Free-Zone and a network of Freespaces is established. The criteria of Freespace is established as follows: 1) No a priori determination of use: use must be invented by those who dare to claim Freespace as their own. 2) Difficulty of occupation: the faint need to apply. 3) Absence of discernible order: hierarchy is frustrated; heterarchy unavoidable. Lebbeus Woods, Research Institute for Experimental Architecture, NYC, 18 November 1990, assisted by Leo Modrcin and Olive Brown
