AFF Architekten

208 pages, Portuguese/English

This issue features AFF, an architecture and planning firm based in Berlin and Lausanne that sees architecture as something object-like, with a focus on how a structure relates to its surroundings and function. Enjoyment in observation and creation, along with fresh and imaginative interpretations, is central to their work as they explore existing buildings and traditions, identifying unique qualities while also pushing beyond conventional boundaries. Their design process shapes projects in a fluid and evolving way. By questioning traditional architectural forms and typologies and adapting them to meet contemporary needs, AFF creates architecture that is both meaningful and dynamic.
