marte.marte have completed strikingly unique buildings in Western Austria that contrast the typical tectonics of wood construction in Vorarlberg. And in contrast to the compact volumes of older and newer buildings in the alpine region, marte.marte also gives the surrounding and exterior spaces of their projects precise tectonics as well. Their spatial compositions - which are only block-like masses at first glance - receive their exterior dynamics from their interiors. This volume features synoptic photo essays and text analyses that show the strong bond between the architects and the values of the region as well as their conceptual, sensual explorations into the realm of universal themes: section versus plan, weight versus lightness‚ form versus life.
