The innovative architect group GRAFT calls their works “monsters of grace.” In their twodimensional compositions they combine dynamic structures with picturesque beauty. The images are architectural hybrids constructed out of popular masterpieces. The reflections, shadows, and impressions raise questions. The scale and relationship to the environment fade into the background and allow only a guess at what might be concealed in the structure or beyond it. A feeling of fascination overcomes the viewer in the face of this technological elegance.
The founders of GRAFT describe their interdisciplinary network as an “Architecture label”. This word choice points towards their versatility, adaptability and most of all their connection with current life styles. With a strong feel for new trends, Lars Krückeberg, Wolfram Putz, Thomas Willemeit, Gregor Hoheisel and Alejandra Lillo, working out of L.A., Berlin, and Peking, transform their creative ideas into an amorphous, and visionary visual language.
These Architects and designers challenge traditional boundaries and explore the interplay and effect of influence factors such as high and everyday culture, philosophy, architecture, film, literature, and music. The analysis, communication, and thereby the creation of the relationship between and through these aspects enables them to develop their work further, to define it new ways, and to create worlds where living in tomorrow world is possible today.
Therefore, GRAFT does not consider themselves exclusively an architectural company, but continually broaden their horizons. It is not without reason that their focus in architecture, urban planning, design, and music is lead by the idea of the “pursuit of happiness”.
About the Name:
The word “graft” has a variety of meanings and can be read in a number of different ways. It is used when growing wine as well as within transplantation medicine. It describes in botanical terminology the joining of two shoots of two different variety plants to form a new growth. The positive qualities of these two genetically diverse plants are in this way combined into a new more mature hybrid.VITA
