Jasper Architects: Beyond Context

Trilingual edition (English/German/Spanish) / Dreisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch/spanisch)

From Berlin to Buenos Aires and Vienna to Asunci n, Jasper Architects designs buildings on two continents. Working across time zones, their work brings together diverse contexts, languages, and building traditions. Founder Martin Jasper made his name in Europe with a sculptural redesign that turned a former department store, near East Berlin's former central train station Ostbahnhof, into a multi-purpose office landscape. In South America, his work includes the ENA holiday resort in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest, as well as the high-rise residential building 12 PARC and the Nestl headquarters in Ecuador. The award-winning architecture office's designs are characterized by an engagement with new living and working paradigms and the tension between local and universal architectural language. This trilingual monograph presents the firm's transatlantic work to an international audience for the first time, showcasing both built and unbuilt designs--from slender high-rises to typological studies and constructions in tropical wood.
