On the occasion of Orgatec 21.-25.10.2008, photographer geeLy, Zürich
The special exhibition 'Architects' Offices' shows for the first time the actual places of work in which architecture originates. The four-metre high photos by the Zurich photographer geeLy provide surprising insights into some very different architectural offices. The exhibition has been conceived and curated by Architonic.

Architonic Lounge
At this year's imm cologne Architonic celebrated its five year anniversary with a futuristic lounge. Architects Prof. Tobias Wallisser and Chris Bosse, who a few days ago presented their design for the Schumacher Tower in Dubai, created this first Architonic Concept Space. Reason enough to present it at Orgatec, too. For the year to come we can reveal here that for its next Concept Space design Architect has been able to recruit the Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler, who have just designed the Swiss pavilion at the Venice Biennale.

The Architonic Guide to Orgatec
With approx. 700 exhibitors from 39 countries it can be easy to get lost at an international exhibition like Orgatec and perhaps miss the best parts. To help you find your way through the exhibition halls, we have once more put together the best manufacturers for you in our Architonic Guide. The selection has been made independently by our editorial team. We hope that it will prove an efficient and useful helper to you and make your visit to the fair both productive and enjoyable!
