Christoph Hesse Architects are based in Berlin and Korbach, a small town in the northwestern part of the German federal state Hesse. This rural area in the green heart of Germany is the location of most of the projects the firm has realised since its establishment in 2010. Yet, occasionally, they do plant their rural concepts into an urban context. Christoph Hesse Architects and their friends see their designs as open places of culture. On the one hand, they are catalysts for change in thought, intended to change people’s perspectives and stimulate their self-efficacy in society. On the other hand, they are actual interventions in globally prevailing structures that can be disrupted and changed locally. Thus, the firm distinguishes between projects acting as perspective changes and as system changers.
Rural Vision is the first monograph on Christoph Hesse Architects. It also constitutes a manifesto that illustrates how collaborative projects create social, ecological, and economic points of contact and dialogue. Moreover, they promote sustainable change that not only improves people’s lives in rural areas but also redefines change as a source of innovation and social progress. The book offers alternative strategies based on selected projects through photos, visualisations, drawings, and plans, as well as essays and conversations.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Christoph Hesse Architects arbeiten und planen seit 2010 vornehmlich im ländlichen Raum des Sauerlandes und des Waldecker Landes in der grünen Mitte Deutschlands. Von Zeit zu Zeit pflanzen sie ländlich geprägte Projekte auch in den urbanen Kontext hinein. Das Büro mit Sitz in Berlin und Korbach versteht seine Projekte als offene Orte der Kultur. Einerseits als Katalysatoren einer Bewusstseinsveränderung, die die Sichtweisen der Menschen verändern und ihre Selbstwirksamkeit in der Gesellschaft anregen sollen. Andererseits als reale Eingriffe in bestehende, global vorherrschende Strukturen, die auf lokaler Ebene durchbrochen und verändert werden können. Christoph Hesse Architects unterteilen ihre Projekte daher in «Perspektivwandler» und «Systemwandler». Rural Vision, die erste Monografie zur Arbeit von Christoph Hesse Architects, ist ein Manifest, das verdeutlicht, wie kollaborative Projekte soziale, ökologische und ökonomische Anknüpfungs-punkte und Dialoge schaffen und einen zukunftsfähigen Wandel fördern - einen Wandel, der das Leben auf dem Land nicht nur verbessert, sondern auch als Quelle für Innovation und gesellschaftlichen Fortschritt neu definiert. Das Buch stellt alternative Strategien anhand ausgewählter Projekte vor, präsentiert mit Fotos und Visualisierungen, Zeichnungen und Plänen sowie Interviews und Essays. 304 pp. Englisch.
