Lorenz Prommegger

X-Architekten is a group of committed architects who develop conceptual positions on contemporary architecture through project-related work. Lorenz Prommegger, partner in X-Architekten, presented work of Austrian studio at Belgrade Design Week 2010.

As a mathematical variable, X stands for openness. X demands the plural: the team with its flat hierarchy replaces the professional profile of the architect as lone fighter. The dynamics of a permanent work process oscillating between creativity and (self-) criticism permit the emergence of a quality standard above the capacities of each single member. The activities of x architekten comprise the full range from housing and office construction, buildings for industry and commerce, shopping and entertainment projects to design and urbanism.
