from the beginning of their joint work, they made a theme primarily of these invisible conditions of converted space; they understand planning as a development of constructions, which control their inner climate with a minimum of energy, and they expand this through research on building systems, which can be used flexibly and which - particularly in residential building - leave anachronistic norms behind. a program for "pulsating spaces" was formulated at the beginning of the 90s as a result of criticism of the code book describing the responsibilities of residential building organizations and commercial builders. it is based on the separation of hard and soft building parts: a minimal supporting skeleton, with pipe and wall breaches, all pipes and cables are in the hollow floor construction or in a custom-made shell, bathroom and kitchen are reduced to furniture elements, to be connected to pipes emerging from the floor. instead of walls made of plasterboard or bricks there are light screens made of wood, glass or fabric and variable cupboard elements; the façade is conceived as a prefabricated useable puffer zone of several layers, also the corridors and hallways are technically upgraded to become service areas (washing machine, storage space), which are placed out in the common developed structure.

in local residential building, such concepts are still taboo; in administrative buildings, however, lichtblau.wagner have already realized these ideas. their buildings are clear and perfectly formed, light and open, do without formal over-definitions. advanced consumer technology and flexible useful potentials characterize their architecture without letting it take over the aesthetics. lasting comfort, offered without histrionics, is more important to them than visual power.
