To the rest of the processes. This has a direct influence on the depth and team, our most honest thank you. range of comprehension that is now requested from the architect. Although we can still agree with the vitruvian view of the architect as a “generalist specialist”, the idea of architect as “master builder” is something we cannot conceive at this moment. When the role of the architect must be one of overview, how can she/he deepen all necessary aspects of the process to the point of maste- ring them, if they keep on multiplying at an exponential rate? For one person to call upon himself the responsi- bility for all the subparts of the process is not only ego- tistical but also reckless. Architects should act as coordinators, should attain a position of overview by acknowledging the necessary work of other “players” at different phases of the process, not by proclaiming themselves as the sole responsible for the built environment. As we see it, the built environment is as much a consequence of the conceptual work of the architect as it is of the quality of the construction industry, of the engineer‘s ingenuity 3 Samuel Schultze Interview Francisco Moura Veiga It is easy to sit across Samuel Schultze. Leaning back on the chairs inside one of the meeting rooms in the freshly renovated Basel office, overlooking the fig trees in the interior court- yard, one can’t help but feeling comfortable. The room I am in is one of the few enclosed spaces in the huge office. Samuel shares the open-office space with all the other workers that make up the Basel office of Burckhardt + Partner, no private office, no wall between him and his employees. This is quite something when we think that he is the CEO of one of the largest architecture offices in Switzerland, with around 350 employees and a history that star- ted in the early 50’s of the XXth century, he was part of the Basel Cityscape commission for 15 years and is the President of the Board of Trus- tees of the Swiss Architecture Museum. Still, he is no star, he is no Ronaldo or Messi, he is more a Phillip Lahm; a polyvalent figure that holds the team in place through his over- view of the game and his understanding of each position’s functions. Just before starting the interview, I tell him that we don’t want to hear what the CEO of B+P has to say about “MANNSCHAFT”, we want to hear what he, Samuel, has to say. He then lea- ned back too and we started talking. CARTHA II / 01 4 How would you define the architect’s role in a the tasks that we are given today.

  • Nomination Contractworld Award 2010
    www.contractworld.com contractworld.magazin - 2/2010 contractworld Magazine of the International Forum for Architecture and Interior Design from 15 to 18 January 2011 in Hannover Editorial Prominent Speakers! Dear Readers, Business is improving - that’s the general forecast from politicians, business and trade. In view of the crisis, which finally lies behind us, one would think that we could actually continue with business as usual. However, we have deliberately organised contractworld 2011 under a motto addressing the current world eco- nomic situation: The four theme days of the contract- world.congress are among other things about “moral” – about sincerity, honesty, responsibility. You can be curious how this subject can be implemented in the fields of Office, Hotel, Shop and Conversion. Conversion is the current, annually changing fourth category in addition to the classic themes of Office, Hotel and Shop. It already enjoyed immense popularity regarding the submissions for the contractworld.award. The pro- Wiel Arets Angela García de Paredes gramme for January includes another new special sub- ject: sustainability! For the contractworld.award, resource conservation and efficiency played an impor- tant role, but the sustainability topic is also taken into account at the contractworld.congress with various seminars and a special Sustainability Symposium on Monday January 17, 2011. In January 2010, the new format of the public live jury session generated a great deal of interest. Architects and interior designers under 40 years of age – the so-called New Generation – were invited to present their projects, which had been short- listed by the jury, to the interested contractworld audi- ence, so that they could be assessed and awarded on site.

    www.contractworld.com contractworld.magazin - 2/2010 contractworld zeitschrift des internationalen forums für architekten und innenarchitekten in hannover vom 15. bis 18. januar 2011 Editorial Prominente Redner! Sehr geehrte Leserinnen, sehr geehrte Leser, es geht wieder aufwärts – prognostizieren allerorten Politik, Wirtschaft und Handel. Angesichts der endlich hinter uns liegenden Krise könnte man eigentlich froh- gemut zum Tagesgeschäft übergehen. Doch ganz be- wusst haben wir die contractworld 2011 unter ein Motto gestellt, das das aktuelle Weltwirtschaftsgeschehen anspricht: Um „Moral” soll es unter anderem an den vier Thementagen des contractworld.congress gehen – um Aufrichtigkeit, um Ehrlichkeit, um Verantwortung. Seien Sie gespannt, wie sich dieses Thema in den Bereichen Office, Hotel, Shop und Konversion umset- zen lässt. Die Umnutzung ist die aktuelle, jährlich wech- selnde, vierte Kategorie neben den drei Klassikern Office, Hotel und Shop. Sie erfreute sich bereits bei der Einreichung zum contractworld.award großer interna- Wiel Arets Angela García de Paredes tionaler Beliebtheit. Und ein weiteres neues Schwer- punktthema steht auf dem Programm für Januar 2011: Nachhaltigkeit! Beim contractworld.award spielten Ressourcenschonung und Wirtschaftlichkeit eine be- deutende Rolle, aber auch beim contractworld.con- gress wird dem Thema Nachhaltigkeit mit verschiede- nen Seminaren und einem speziellen Nachhaltigkeits- symposium am Montag, 17. Januar 2011, Rechnung getragen. Auf besonders großes Interesse stieß im Januar 2010 das neue Format der öffentlichen Live- Jurierung. Architekten und Innenarchitekten unter 40 Jahren – die sogenannte New Generation – konnten ihre, von der Jury auf eine Shortlist gesetzten Projekte dem interessierten contractworld-Publikum präsentie- ren, wurden vor Ort beurteilt und ausgezeichnet. Auf zahlreiche junge, innovative Büros aus dem In- und Ausland und deren Projektpräsentationen darf man sich Foto: Jens Passoth Foto: Daniel Sahlberg auch 2011 freuen.
