    Next Year in Yemen

    Thomas Padmanabhan's account of drawing Yemen as a first year architecture student in 1993 is published on Drawing Matter. 'Knowing that there was the possibility of a civil war, I felt a strange sense of urgency. I was aware that I might never be able to return, and that some of the buildings I sketched during my journey might be destroyed in the near future.'

    Still Got Love for the Streets

    Lütjens Padmanaban’s work demonstrates that there is a deep pleasure in the capacity of architecture to work on different levels, to move between functional requirements, practical constraints, and aesthetic precision, and to enjoy the occasional lack of resolution among them. That these requirements both relate to and fundamentally depart from historical precedents is also a form of meaning, one that allows us to articulate an appropriate language of building for today. Charles Holland writes for e-flux about the house on Waldmeisterweg.

    Les tonalités du présent

    Certains regretteront les pertes, que ce soit la stabilité des rituels domestiques, une matérialité évoquant la permanence ou une analogie formelle avec le contexte. Si une nouvelle sensibilité est jugée par des conventions, nous aurons toujours la sensation d’un manque, puisque seules les qualités déjà accordées semblent compter. À Waldmeisterweg, Lütjens Padmanabhan délivrent une expérience d’habitat contemporaine convaincante, en continuité avec l’histoire. Ils nous rappellent que l’architecture peut être un débat culturel continu sur les possibilités du présent. Diogo Fonseca Lopes writes for Tracés 2019/ 16-17 about the house on Waldmeisterweg.

    Am Waldmeisterweg

    Das Wohnhaus am Waldmeisterweg ist Ergebnis einer Sicht auf die Welt, die den Nutzer wertschätzt. Es ist ein dem Wesen nach egalitäres, aber gleichzeitig von einem starken architektonischen Ausdruckswillen geprägtes Gebäude, das unter der Prämisse disziplinierter Kostensteuerung entstanden ist. Wenn es gelänge, die zugrundeliegende Offenheit wieder in die architektonische Debatte einzuführen und Fragen von Geschmack und Stil nicht für moralische oder persönliche Stellvertreterkämpfe zu missbrauchen, dann wäre viel gewonnen. Reem Almannai und Florian Fischer schreiben in der Bauwelt 14.12 über das Haus am Waldmeisterweg.

    Drawing of the Week

    There is an uncanny gap between the cold precision of a computer drawing and the confusing uncertainty of the design process. We try to bridge that gap with a collaborative method that includes a lot of discussions and the use of computer-prints, scalpel, glue, pencil and Tipp-Ex. A short essay on our working method accompanied by a drawing for the new residence for the Swiss ambassador in Algiers is featured by Drawing Matter in their weekly column Drawings of the week.
