“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”
Philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)
Architecture frames our lives in very profound and concrete ways. It reflects the understanding we have of culture and society. Architecture spans the polarity of the concrete and the abstract. It is in the encounter and interaction between these two polarities that the main idea and concept of architecture unfold.
The approach of schmidt hammer lassen architects is that architecture creates change – architecture is not a goal in itself. The practice strives to design buildings that meet the challenges of modern society; that shape the life for people and organisations; that make people come together in new ways.
