IMKEWOELK + Partners is and architectural practice that brings together architecture and art, planning praxis and research. The focus is on diversity, equity and inclusion.
“We regard the world as a force field between stability and change, between individuality and community.”
Each of our architectural works embodies a democratic intersection of relations, which can be understood as a whole or
in its various dimensions: as an idea, as art, as a technical solution, as a social field. Central to our work is the confrontation with open space – a much-discussed concept beginning with the essential buildings of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
“It is our conviction that this proactive space harbors tremendous potential – whether as an idea or as a design principle.”
Not as a neutral surface, but instead as a precisely formulated space that allows diverse interpretations and is completed through its use. This too is the legacy of the art of the 20th century, whose method is the unfinished, the fragment, the open work.
“We work and engage in experimentation on spatial strategies and identities that are non-dogmatic and sensual, both open to the unexpected and to the other, multifaceted and well-suited to everyday life.”
The complexity and effectiveness of our projects are the result of the realization of ecological and sensory qualities that are economical and humane.
