Benedikt Hartl: Order and irritation
Whether he is drawing up plans to transform Buckingham Palace into affordable housing, designing a hotel made from sections of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, or a plastic recycling plant instead of an ocean museum, Benedikt Hartl’s designs tend to irritate people. In conversation with Peter-André Alt, he explains how breaking the rules can foster innovation and why we need a radical rethink in construction and urban planning.
In 2017, the architect Benedikt Hartl founded Opposite Office, an architecture firm which deals with issues at the intersection of environment, politics and society. Hartl's designs question established norms and seek radical solutions to social and environmental challenges.
