Style principles and effects

“The Göttingen architect Hansjochen Schwieger consciously relies on 'normality'. With technically and formally high-quality buildings, it sets itself apart from spectacular and often excited "event architecture". Conservative in the best sense of the word - (...) architecture that meets the highest formal requirements, but never loses sight of its task. "

- Gert Kähler 2006/2007

Adams at the Wall BDA Prize 1985
