Ever since the firm's establishment in 1989, Frankfurt-based Stefan
Forster Architekten (SFA) had a special focus on housing. A
starting point for this was the urgent necessity of refurbishment
and modernisation of the vast housing developments constructed of
prefabricated concrete slabs as part of the urban rebuilding
programmes in the newly founded federal states of eastern Germany
following the country's re-unification in 1990. From the initial
'Haus 07' in Leinefelde, Thuringia, SFA have moved on, creating a
remarkable body of work in metropolitan housing. Their designs
comprise large-scale public multi-unit blocs and single-family town
houses on small plots, as well as the transformation of former
office and public administration structures. This first monograph
on SFA highlights how the firm has constantly worked on raising the
standards in residential architecture, years before the current
shortage of housing in urban areas has made such improvements so
urgent. The book features 30 designs that exemplify SFA's approach
and philosophy. Text in English and German.
Since reunification in 1990, Germany's federal government has
erected scores of architecturally groundbreaking buildings. This
volume presents more than 80 projects.
