Relaxed Without Limits
Expressiveness is not their cup of tea, nor is a form that would 'blast' borders. Wolfgang Feyferlik's early work and that developed with Susi Fritzer together represent a 'bodiless architecture'. They employ the material features of structures and envelopes as discretely, as porously as possible, in an attempt to unfold a spatial totality, organized in a way that is not burdened by materiality. Feyferlik once announced a vision to 'build up a magnetic field that does no harm to people and at once separates cold and warm areas, such that an envelope is created with that magnetic field alone, corresponding to the people's requirements for comfort.'

This premise makes it clear how he, together with Fritzer, aspires to a minimum of material efforts to create the psycho-physiological requirements of dwellings. Contrary to classic modernity, the material is not abstracted; all building materials are applied and exploited according to their performance properties, their potentials tested with perfect ease. Moreover, the spatial continuum in Feyferlik/Fritzer's concept is not only horizontally isotropic, such as with Mies van der Rohe who formulated open space as sandwiched between a podium and abstractly floating roofing panels.
