plus bauplanung 2007-2025

What brings architecture to life? Certainly not the finished image, the perfect line, or the shiny surface. Rather, it is what happens before and after: the searching, the struggling, the joint designing, trying out, rejecting, and starting again, the building together, balancing, and adjusting, the enlivening, using, adapting, and maintaining. The office plus bauplanung from Neckartenzlingen understands a building as a social structure, not as a stand-alone work of art. As architects, they are first and foremost listeners and observers. Whats more, they rely on the perspectives and experiences of others. They know that they dont know everything. From the outset, users are involved in the design process in workshops, and insights are gained together. The architects task is then to establish connections - to build relationships. The result is not only a functionally and aesthetically convincing building, but also a lasting connection between the 'building family', the project, and all those involved, which remains palpable in the space. This idea of 'living architecture' is particularly evident in school construction, which the firm sees as an important social task. The spatial language born out of the collaborative process has a decisive influence on this spiritual living space. The result are 'living schools' that bring together all those involved - teachers, students, parents,and even the neighborhood.
