Heinz Hirdina, who was, among other things, chief editor of the design magazine form+zweck from 1973 until 1979, was Professor for the Theory and History of Design at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee from 1993 until 2005. His students included Hannah Bauhoff, Florian Schmidt and Norman Kietzmann. His seminars were always fully subscribed within only hours, despite the fact that he always demanded the highest performance from his students, as well as a committed attitude towards design and its social impact. His work “Gestalten für die Serie. Design in der DDR 1949-1985” (Serial Design. Design in the GDR 1949-1985), was the most important study of the history of industrial design in the GDR, and is now out of print. He will be greatly missed – not only by us.

The buildings designed by R&Sie(n) have many facets – but not always facades. At times they are as light as textile, lend multi-storey car parks sweeping, dynamic lines or assume the strange proportions of a bacterium enlarged millions of times under an electron microscope. Is this all chance? Not exactly. Indeed, the architecture that François Roche and Stéphanie Lavaux have been producing in their Paris studio for more than 20 years now turns out to be an intelligent combination of local resources and highly-developed technology. Norman Kietzmann met François Roche in Paris and talked with him about buildings as fiction, new territories and prickly aliens in the Swiss mountains.
