kadawittfeldarchitektur
kadawittfeldarchitektur is a European architectural office, operating out of Aachen, Germany, with its founding office in Graz, Austria. The projects of kadawittfeldarchitektur move in scale between architecture, city building, interiors, and urban studies to create meaning within a context of public buildings.
Since 1999, the office has produced a number of internationally renown buildings. Among those are the Mercedes Benz's headquarters in Salzburg, the technical University of Salzburg, the adidas LACES administration building in Herzogenaurach and the AachenMünchener Insurance headquarters in Aachen. Parallel, kadawittfeldarchitektur has won numerous independent inter/ national competitions such as central station in Salzburg and the auditorium in Padova. kadawittfeldarchitektur is a spatial strategy translated into built form. The building itself is understood as a functional object, designed to serve the user and spectator alike, from inside and out. The office tests reality: building and translating the meaning of tradition into appropriate contemporary spatial structures. kadawittfeldarchitektur provides a unique, innovative answer to each task, providing customized spaces rather than prefabricated solutions.
