Alexander Spauwen: Wood Get On Top

Syntax architektur zt gmbh, Austria 

Syntax architecture was founded in 2006 by Michael Barth, Martina Barth Sedelmayer and Alexander Spauwen. „Syntax” in its original meaning stands for compilation and is the essence of the syntax architecture team. Our team culminates an array of skills, which is fostered through respect, open-mindedness, commitment and passion. Rather than finding a form, the quality of work is established by the transformational implementation of functional and structural solutions. A successful project values the needs of people and integrates them within the concept and design. All projects are deeply rooted in the local context and reinforce the genius loci. As idea, form, structure, organisation and function are interwoven, it´s essential to get the ideal balance between these factors – to find the „syntax” of the project. Our main focus is put on designing public and residential buildings in various dimensions – our passion lies in thinking through complex problems to find simple solutions.
