MEHR üBER JARMUND / VIGSNæS AS ARCHITECTS MNAL
Profil
The practice focuses on projects with potential for outstanding and meaningful architecture, most often closely related to nature and preferably in strong natural settings with harsh climate. The practice explores modern possibilities with sensual and tactile means, seeking the right character for the place and purpose. Clear and understandable strategies attempts to results that are both self-evident and sensational. Larger projects results most commonly from competition-winning schemes, smaller from the reputation of former clients and structures.
