Holzer Kobler Architekturen
Barbara Holzer and Tristan Kobler established their shared studio, Holzer Kobler Architekturen, in Zurich in 2004. In 2012, this was followed by a branch office in Berlin, which is now directed by Andrea Zickhardt. Like Volker Mau, the director of the architecture department in Zurich, Zickhardt is a member of the executive board. The multidisciplinary team of urbanists, architects, designers, graphic artists and curators forms a broad spectrum of competences ranging from urban planning and architecture to scenography and design. Programmatic innovation, aesthetic identities and contextual characterization are the guiding principles in their work. In contrast to other studios, Holzer Kobler Architekturen has no recognizable stylistic idiom. Each work is unique and arises from an individual examination of the building project at hand. The resulting abundance of design reveals itself even at the level of materials.
