Sufficiency before efficiency – thoughtful design minimizes resource usage
My motivation is deeply rooted in a personal awareness of resource scarcity, a value ingrained in me since childhood: I hate wastefulness.
This and my belief in a collaborative process where each design gesture has a purpose aligns with Transsolar's mission.
A well-thought-out design can significantly reduce resource consumption.
I don't believe in aesthetics-driven design; instead, I find beauty in a building's form that clearly expresses its function.
Sufficiency before efficiency – that's the motto I have believed in ever since my mentor, Thomas Auer, introduced me to the concept of ‘Suffizienz’.
Why maintain a home at 72°F to spend a summer day indoors wrapped in a blanket?
Why over-engineer a building and invest in unnecessary systems?
It all feels superfluous to me, like putting French fries on top of a Pizza Margherita.
