Conen Sigl Architekten: Maria Conen, (*1979, Buchs) Raoul Sigl, (*1978, Basel) Zürich

Conen Sigl Architekten address architecture’s fundamental elements in their installation: ceiling, floor, wall and column. The successful combination of these elements creates a space full of atmosphere, in which the black areas seem to oscillate between corner and support like an optical illusion. The central support made of untreated wood accentuates the middle and is simultaneously connected with the dark ceiling through the black coat of paint. Square openings in the ceiling offer a view into the hall and skilfully incor­porate the surroundings. The four fundamental elements thus go beyond their historical function and interweave with each other in an interesting manner to form a rich and diverse installation.
