#27 Boltshauser Architekten (DE+CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

Our 27th stop is at Boltshauser Architekten (Munich, Germany) alongside Roger Boltshauser.

For Boltshauser, to have an order is a must have.

“I always look for order.”

But is order enough?

“If I have an order, I am happy but I am not happy enough, so I try to find ways out of this order.”

He even puts the words in the right order when he concludes: “Order maybe needs disorder”.

Maybe.

Maybe it’s not the case they are looking for a balance, but rather looking for a strong character “and strong characters are often not that balanced…but they are interesting”.

Every project is part of a bigger process. Which means that some issues from a particular project might find it’s answer in an project yet to come. Sometimes “we have already built the answer but we still can’t explain it in a racional way. The brain is not ready o understand but you still think it should be the way to go”.

The strange thing comes when you have to build it…you did something…and now you have to build it even tho you are aware that some questions remain unanswered.

“Sometimes the brain is not there yet”.

I think this is a nice way to put it.
