The exhibition drawing in space brings insight into the thinking that lies behind the coming-into-being of Sauerbruch Hutton’s architecture. In this, drawing is an indispensable tool for exploring form, material and colour in both real and imagined space. The exploration of the ambiguity between visual and haptic space as well as in the oscillation between space, relief and surface are key interests that drive the work of these architects. Further, for Sauerbruch Hutton, colour plays a vital role in the spatial and sensory experience of the built environment. The drawings exhibited range from two to four dimensions, whereby the latter include the aspect of time. Prompting the corporeal sensibilities of the viewers, they serve to illustrate architectural ideas as well as project and represent specific spatial experiences.

In addition to selected drawings and images of the immersive installation, the catalogue presents a sequence of other polychromatic spatial interventions that Sauerbruch Hutton has designed and realised over the years.

The new installation in the exhibition can be visited before the conversation. The catalogue will be available during the event.
