Inspired by long-term investigations into the cultural encounters and mixtures of the Danish-German border region, I wanted to widen the perspective and make a comparison between the application of architecture in a series of border regions, in which national affiliation, identity and power have shifted through history. The focus was mainly directed towards the old German border regions, whose nationality changed in the wave of World War I: Alsace (Elsaβ), Lorraine (Lothringen) and the western parts of Poland (former provinces of Posen and Westpreussen).

    Rolex and Architecture 2016 Press

    PRESS RELEASE ROLEX CONTINUES PARTNERSHIP WITH INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE EXHIBITION – LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA – AS 2016 EDITION OPENS Venice, 26 May 2016 – Rolex is supporting the world’s most important architecture exhibition, which runs from 28 May to 27 November in Venice. This marks the second of three editions (2014, 2016 and 2018) with Rolex as the exclusive Partner and Official Timepiece of the International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. “We are very proud of our association with the Architecture Biennale,” said Arnaud Boetsch, Director Communication & Image at Rolex. “Architecture and watchmaking have much in common, as both must achieve a perfect rendering of function and aesthetic pleasure. This can only be accomplished by meeting the highest standards of precision and performance, something we at Rolex excel at and which is being showcased at the exhibition in this historic city over the next six months.” Rolex’s success as the world’s leading luxury watch brand can be traced back more than a century to company founder Hans Wilsdorf who was motivated by a sense of excellence at every level. He created nothing less than a new architecture for the watch case, making the iconic Oyster the first waterproof watch, one that, like great buildings, has stood the test of time. In the design and construction of its own buildings over the past 50 years, Rolex has demanded the same values of excellence manifest in its watchmaking. The company’s two newest buildings, a tower in Dallas, Texas, by Kengo Kuma and a building in Milan by Italy’s own Studio Albini, are the focus of an exhibition presented by Rolex in the Giardini.

David Chipperfield Design Philosophy The work of David Chipperfield Architects is based upon a solid foundation of design excellence, budget and programme control, pro- ficient project management and the achievement of best value and ar- chitectural quality. Working directly with architectural teams, David Chipperfield is actively involved in the design and supervision of each project from the initial concept stage, through planning, construction and completion. The practice is driven by a consistent philosophical approach, not a predetermined house style. As a result it aims to create specifically de- tailed buildings that are intimately connected to context and function. We believe that high quality design results from the continuity of the design process and intensive dialogue with the client, consultants, con- tractors and end users.
