#45 Studio David Klemmer (AT/CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

Descrição

Let’s travel to Zurich to meet David Klemmer - an Austrian architect working in Switzerland, running his own office since 2017. In 2022, he founded Studio Diode, an independent satellite dedicated to digital images, where he acts as a digital photographer, constructing and staging virtual portraits of architecture. Two poles define his practice — one introverted, one extroverted — both essential. David understands architecture as an instrument. “An instrument is something that cannot work on its own. It needs a human being.” And like instruments, his buildings are expressive, their structures “exposed, not hidden.” From guitars to satellites, he finds resonance in objects that connect the intimate and the distant. “Musical instruments are the closest things to us… satellites are the most far away.” Yet both shape how we perceive and imagine space. “When I work in 3D, I feel an astronaut.” For David Klemmer, reality is not absolute. “Plans, sections, or even conversations can reveal something I cannot experience when I go there.” Drawing, image-making, and design merge as acts of understanding.
