This comprehensive survey documents buildings and projects by Natascha Meuser and Philipp Meuser from 1995 to 2010. Detailed accounts of projects at home and abroad illustrate the architect duo's working method at the interface of theory and practice as we follow their activities from Berlin to Moscow to the Kazakh steppe and New Delhi. The attractive four-volume trade edition with cardboard slipcase presents the entire spectrum that a young architectural practice has to cover to assert itself in the European and Asian markets today.
It takes a long time for the eye to become schooled enough to see the invisible qualities of a place that are never mentioned in building specifications or architectural critiques. And it takes longer still before an ar- chitect is able to design - to create from scratch - a sensually tangible harmony that gives distinction to the whole.
Natascha Meuser, born 1967. Architect BDA, studied in Rosenheim and Chicago; took her degree under Helmut Jahn; collaboration with Rob Krier and Thomas Baumann.
We aspire to make an independent contribution to contemporary ar- chitecture and to push forward the boundaries of current architectural debate. For us, thinking modern and building modern means acknowledging the achievements of the past while learning from its mistakes for the future.
Philipp Meuser, born 1969. Architect BDA, studied in Berlin and Zurich; writes for Neue Zu¨rcher Zeitung; consultant to Berlin urban development department until 2001.
