La Craquelure

The power of this project is based on an intelligent answer to describe something which is not. The monastery, to which the project is dedicated, didn't survive to the present day, so Topotek 1 had to figure out how to translate it's invisible characteristics to the language of landscape. A modest and beautifully measured height difference suggests a volume had been there. Furthermore, the consequent contrast between scenic panorama and minimalistic shaping add to the aesthetic tension. As if this contrast would reflect the one between Arcadian representation of nature and modesty of the life in a monastery. Perhaps. It definitely activates the imagination of the visitor, boosting the experience of the site hence making it more memorable and interesting.

UNESCO World Heritage Site Abbey Lorsch

The project converted a disused 19th Century reservoir into a public garden in an inner city suburb of Sydney. The project sought to subtly foster and maintain the strange atmosphere found in the subterranean structure.
