History

Since it was first founded in Frankfurt in 1997 the office has been managed by its three partners Claudia Meixner, Florian Schlüter and Martin Wendt.[4] With its early, somewhat smaller projects the firm already elicited great interest among the specialist media. Today, its work ranges from exhibition design, architectural planning and design in the urban context, industrial buildings, schools, churches, cultural and residential buildings, all the way to residential high-rises. In parallel, Claudia Meixner and Florian Schlüter hold lectures at various organizations and have also taught at university level.[5][6]

Architecture

Very diverse in formal terms[7], the buildings by Meixner Schlüter Wendt have two basic things in common: They leave a very strong sculptural impression on viewers and they react to their contexts with sensitivity.[3] Meixner Schlüter Wendt resolves this apparent conflict by using methods, principles and strategies which are – according to design expert Lilli Hollein – an established practice in the world of visual arts but, by contrast, rather unusual for German architecture firms.[8] One common practice at the practice is to play calculated games with levels of perception. To this end, in their design process, the architects evoke specific associations with what is particular to a certain location and the relevant construction brief, associations which are the result of observing and analyzing everyday things or rather the way they are arranged.[8][9] This can, for instance, include recourse to conventional building typologies and to well-known techniques from the history of construction, such as the kind of encrustations[10] or reliefs[11] which Meixner Schlüter Wendt see as intellectual ready-mades, something which they can reinterpret and transform into buildings of a completely new kind.[12][13][14]

As a reaction to the differing heights of the surroundings in Frankfurt’s

pontoon served as the inspiration for the Café des Licht- und Luftbades (Light and Air Bath Café) on the banks of the flood-prone river Main in Frankfurt’s Niederrad district, the kind of ship like construction that will float if there is flooding.[20][21][22]
In the case of the partial dismantlement of the Dornbuschkirche, the church in the eponymous district of Dornbusch, Meixner Schlüter Wendt reproduced what used to be the nave of the church in a new relief wall, thus preserving people’s memories of the demolished section of the structure in the form of an impression in the new architecture.[23][12][11] For the reinterpretation of the Henniger Turm, which was knocked down in 2013, the firm also reacted to collective memories.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).[24][25]
