At the Aedes Architecture Forum, innovative design strategies are drawn from selected projects,
telling stories in a fun interactive installation about how HWKN Architecture aims to shape a better tomorrow.
As HWKN is determined to make a difference in many international projects,
with a design that enhances emotions and strengthens the life force in the public sphere.
In addition to traditional goals such as rational organization and efficiency.
Matthias Hollwich and his team are interested not only in the architectural possibilities in the interface between the interior and the exterior,
but also in the transformation of verticality in architecture.
The focus is usually on the top of the building, its facade and its efficient organization,
which must be seen from afar.
Typically, this regulatory rationale maintains the base of entry, retail, and parking.
HWKN also turns design principles on its head in collaboration with open-minded developers,
integrating unique identities and characteristics with each structure.
Where designers are keen to form the base of the building, focusing on people’s activities,
emotions and memories, then interiors with personality are added.
Interacting with people is the focus, creating places, which generate inspiration for all,
and the identity of the new building directly coincides with the street experience.
The exhibition at Aedes highlights HWKN’s design approach, exploring the interaction between people and buildings.
Nine five-meter-high towers installed in the exhibition space symbolize the diverse formal and programmatic styles of their projects.
Such as the Inquisitor 25 Kent office building in New York as well as Die Macherei in Munich
and Spirit Bochum, two commercial headquarters currently under construction.

The placement of the towers is designed to encourage visitors not just to look,
but to explore, interact and respond in a playful way.
As in the Blake Building, it is open with an open market surrounding its base,
or Skyler’s upbringing tower, which brings multiple generations together in one place.
Visitors to the exhibition will be invited to choose a character from a selection of puppet characters
and imagine the character to live, work or play in the building of their choice.
They can use their phones to take photos and document ideas,
and at the end of the gallery these individual inspirations about better ways to live, work,
play and build will be collected and disseminated to contribute to HWKN research and develop new ideas.
This provocative concept emphasizes the idea of using the exhibition as a research tool,
but also reflects an unusually attractive and culturally diverse approach to its implementation.
