“WOWHAUS” at Architektur Galerie Berlin
The projects of Moscow-based office “Wowhaus” primarily focus on architecture’s capacity to not only enable, but to actually trigger social interaction. Obviously, the architects (responsible for the building of the Strelka Institute and the transformation of the famous Gorky Park) adhere to the achievements of the Moscow avantgarde of the 1920s: “Wowhaus” put a new spin on the conception of architecture as a “social condenser”.
In January 2015, on occasion of the opening of their exhibition at Architektur Galerie Berlin, Michael Schindhelm, cofounder of Strelka Institute, gave an insight into the architects’ work.
