Summary:
Although internationally known for his furniture, for his iconic Schröder House and for his relationship to the members of De Stijl, Gerrit Th. Rietveld developed a prolific career as an architect after his Neo-Plasticist phase in the 1920s. This double issue of 2G takes another look at Rietveld's domestic built work from his first Neo-Plasticist buildings of the 1920s to his death in 1964. In it we discover a trajectory which, without renouncing the Neo-Plasticist precepts of his early days, gradually takes on a more domestic and everyday cast in direct rapport with his clients. Along with his endeavours as a cabinetmaker, the issue of suburban single-family housing constituted a fundamental mainstay in his trajectory, one in which the everyday is intermingled with spatial exploration. The revisit to this less-known oeuvre of Rietveld's is preceded by essays by Marijke Kuper (editor of this issue), Hans Ibelings and Wim Quist, and culminates in the nexus section with various texts by the architect himself.

Summary:
That the same adjectives can be used to describe Swiss architecture by those who admire it and those who don't -namely minimal, uncompromising and well constructed- is a strange and noteworthy consensus. Transcending such characteristics is the work of Burkhalter Sumi, for it has as much sensuality as sense, opulence as rigour, and an architectural ambition tempered(...)

Summary:
That the same adjectives can be used to describe Swiss architecture by those who admire it and those who don't -namely minimal, uncompromising and well constructed- is a strange and noteworthy consensus. Transcending such characteristics is the work of Burkhalter Sumi, for it has as much sensuality as sense, opulence as rigour, and an architectural ambition tempered refreshingly with modesty. Even though Burkhalter Sumi are now working on larger scale problems and projects than before, their way of thinking and working shows a remarkable consistency over the 21 years since the office's founding. Over years of obervations, mulling and simply following their personal tastes the architects had assembled a host of complicated and contradictory issues about timber architecture, such as tectonics, form and its perception, prefabrication, colour, ecology and hybrid structures. This issue of 2G magazine, devoted to Burkhalter Sumi, collects an illustrative selection of recent works by the Swiss team, including residential projects, urban planning, projects for the workplace and exhibitions.
