BETWEEN FACT AND FICTION
True for many professions and industries, the social and technological challenges imply a radical change for architecture. However, architects don't seem to understand their role in this transformation or aren't able to communicate it to the wider public. "Facts are no longer enough to really convince people, we have to tell a story." — as architect and former politician Oana Bogdan stated— the question is: Which story do we want to tell? And who are we?ABOUT B+
b+ is an architecture practice in-the-making. It is a continuation and reorientation of the collaborative practice Brandlhuber+ which is based in Berlin since 2006. The process of reorientation and new formation includes a conceptual as well as economic restructuring reacting to the changing conditions of architectural production. b+ is, on one hand, looking into new issues and fields of practice trying to understand architecture systemically and beyond the built object. On the other hand, b+ wants to change the conditions of production in which architecture is thought and realized. In concrete terms we are asking: What are the challenges for architecture in a changing society and how can we as architects produce both ecologically and economically viable answers to these challenges?ABOUT ARNO BRANDLHUBER
