The work of aardvarchitecture (lynnette widder, christian volkmann) carries the mark of its origins in the chance crossing of its authors' paths. Perspective and diagram, detail and spatial conception, structural logic and order of construction are generated, and generate, simultaneously within the design process. Memories and impressions of study, work and life in Berlin, Zurich, Lugano and New York contribute to the synthesis. Practice in New York is by nature modest. Our projects define and resolve a conceptual understanding commensurate to the scale of the work: a loft, a small weekend house, a public pool. Our competition work is no less practical than our realized work, which is no less conceptual than projects we have only been able to speculate on. The work is considered a tangible proposition, whether or not it is physicalized; and the intellectual content is imanent, not applied, to the issues at stake.
