Seit 25 Jahren führen Hubert Hermann und François Valentiny ihre Büros in Wien und Luxemburg. Was sie verbindet, ist eine gemeinsame Haltung, die sie über die Jahre im verbalen und entwerferischen Gedankenaustausch präzisieren. Was sie trennt ist der Standort: Hier die Großstadt Wien, dort das kleine, ländlich geprägte Luxemburg. Daher auch die unterschiedlichen Aufgaben - vom Geräteschuppen zum Repräsentativbau, vom Einfamilienhaus zur urbanen Wohnanlage. Die vorliegende Monografie ist thematisch aufgebaut: Baukünstlerisch sind ihre Arbeiten vergleichbar, im subjektiven Ausdruck allerdings differenziert gelöst. Ihre Architektur bietet uns ein Erlebnis, das nicht entlang zeitgeistiger Trends verläuft: hier geht es um einen individuellen Beitrag zur aktuellen Architekturdiskussion. Und es geht um "Codes" - um die Verarbeitung und Anwendung historischer, kontextueller, architekturtheoretischer, künstlerischer Elemente und ihre Transformation in zeitgenössische, nutzerorientierte Architektur.

For twenty-five years, Hubert Hermann and François Valentiny have maintained their offices in Vienna and Luxemburg. They are linked by a common attitude, molded over the years in a constant verbal and design-based exchange of ideas. They are separated by their locations: here the metropolis of Vienna, there the small and more rural Luxemburg. Hence their disparate tasks - from toolsheds to prestigious structures, from single-family homes to urban housing developments.

This monograph is organized thematically. Architecturally, their works are carried out on a comparable level, but they differ in terms of their subjective expression. Their architecture offers us an experience that doesn't hew to the parameters of the zeitgeist. Instead, it makes a highly individual contribution to the current architectural discussion. It also works with "codes," processing and utilizing historical, contextual, theoretical, and artistic elements and transforming them into contemporary, user-oriented architecture.
