Diagonal Strategies

The internationally acclaimed architecture office Berger+Parkkinen Architects was founded by Alfred Berger and Tiina Parkkinen in 1995 with offices in Vienna and Helsinki. It has realized a broad typological spectrum of buildings and projects, which is distinguished by a clear, elegant urbanity and an innovative approach to materials. The award-winning Embassies of the Nordic Countries in Berlin (19951999) counts among their most publicized works. This first monograph about the office includes an essay by Francisco Barrachina Pastor, which explores the careers and design method of the architects through selected projects, an in-depth interview, and a comprehensive index of works.
