Discussion: "The Material always serves the Idea" - an Interview with Peter Ippolito

 - Andreas Gabriel

Detail: Your office is multidisciplinary. Do you, as result, deal with materials differently than an architectural office? rnIppolito: We always try to go beyond disciplinary borders, regardless whether the project already follows a comprehensive approach or not. We principally develop our projects from the perspective of the user. Since we are always very close to their perception, we are also very close to their concept of materiality. Within the design process, we establish actual choreographies of what can be seen, smelt, or touched.
