Atelier Abraha Achermann

Seit 2010 entwirft das Atelier Abraha Achermann Bauten und Projekte, die sich durch räumlichen Reichtum und überraschende Eigenständigkeit auszeichnen. Der in mehreren inhaltlichen Schichten aufgebaute Band ist ein umfassender Werkstattbericht und bietet einen vielfältigen Einblick in frühere und neuere Arbeiten und Prozesse. Das Buch ist eine monografische Versuchsanordnung, in welcher gesammelt, reflektiert, recherchiert und experimentiert wird.
