Frank Barkow: "Revolution of Choice"
29. January 2009
Parallel to their internationally acclaimed buildings Berlin-based architects Barkow Leibinger have continuously developed a series of pavilions, temporary structures and applied research modules. These include Barkow Leibinger´s “Formation (Re) Formation: A Nomadic Garden” for the Architecture Biennial in Venice 2008, the Marcus Prize Pavilion in Milwaukee, and most recently the project for a pavilion for the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt. Resulting in a variety of prototypes the applied research addresses advanced techniques such as revolved lasercutting (Tubematic), bending (Trumabend V-series) and casting of ceramic elements.
Frank Barkow is an architect and partner of Berlin-based Barkow Leibinger. He currently teaches at Harvard Design School and has previously held academic positions at Cornell University, the Architectural Association in London, and Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart. Barkow Leibinger´s work includes Trudec Building in Seoul, the service and Training Center in Dietzingen, the Campus restaurant and auditorium in Dietzingen and Biosphere in Potsdam.
