Matrix – virtuelle Stadtentwicklung

We visit the “Wall House” in a rural suburb of Santiago de Chile. The first project by the German architecture team FAR caused an absolute sensation in 2007. The residence, with its translucent membrane, looks like a Bedouin tent. Its success earned FAR new international commissions as well as the prestigious Architectural Review Award in 2007. ARTS.21 catches up with the talented duo in Chile.

Where do German Architects build? What’s it like to compete for contracts internationally? And how do they balance the difficult situations posed by dream opportunities with the harsher realities of demanding clients?
