Architecture and Vision

Architecture and Vision (AV) is an architecture and design studio. It specializes in the development of projects and technology transfer between air and space engineering and architecture. The studio was founded in 2003 by the architects Arturo Vittori and Andreas Vogler with offices in Bomarzo / Viterbo ( Italy) and Munich ( Germany ).

Founder

Andreas Vogler ( born January 15, 1964 in Basel) worked after several semesters of study in art history and literature as an interior designer at Alinea AG in Basel. From 1988 to 1994 he studied architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH in Zurich. He spent a semester at the Rhode Iceland School of Design in Providence ( RISD ) in the U.S. and graduated with a project for an energy self-sufficient, prefabricated weather station on the Weissfluhjoch. In 1995, he worked at Ingenhoven Architects in Dusseldorf and from 1995 to 1996 Richard Horden Associates, now Horden Cherry Lee Architects in London. Subsequently he was employed until 2002 as a research assistant at the Institute of Professor hordes at the Technical University of Munich. There he taught Micro Architecture, initiated and led several architectural design only about space architecture. Investigations focused on the residential module aboard the International Space Station in cooperation with NASA and future residential modules on Mars. The students involved had here the opportunity to test their prototypes in parabolic flights in NASA's Johnson Space Center. During his tenure at the Technical University of Munich Vogler published several works on the subject space architecture and won several prizes in architectural competitions. From 2003 to 2005 he conducted research and taught as a visiting professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen on " prefabricated building". In 2004, he taught at The University of Hong Kong. 2005 to 2006 he was a member of the House Concept Research Group, University of Technology Delft University of Technology in Delft. He is a member of the Bavarian Chamber of Architects ByAK Bavarian Chamber of Architects, the German Werkbund German Werkbund, and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics being American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Arturo Vittori began after studying Fine Arts in Viterbo with studying architecture at the University of Florence. This he completed after 2 years of study at the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany in 1996 with an award -winning thesis, " International Space Station - Travelling Network" from. Later Vittori gained experience in the architect offices Jourda Architects in 1997 Duepiù France in 1998, Santiago Calatrava in 2000 and Jean Nouvel in 2001. 2002, he worked as a manager for cabin design at Airbus in Tolouse, where he in the interiors of cabins on various airlines, specifically for the Airbus A380, currently the largest existing aircraft, participated. In 2005 he worked for Future Systems and worked with Anish Kapoor at the design of the Monte Sant'Angelo subway station in Naples. In 2006, he worked in the London office for yacht design by Francis Design. He is a member of the Ordine degli Architetti Architects Association della Provincia di Viterbo and of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics being American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Philosophy

The abbreviation AV corresponds to the initials of the founder. The name of Architecture and Vision stands for the conviction of the founders of that architecture requires a vision of the future, to make a long- term cultural contribution of his time. The studio wants to improve quality of life through the appropriate use of technology and available resources in order to achieve a harmonious integration of people, technology and nature. The projects are to convert this vision in architecture and the built environment. Mobility, sustainability, use of local resources and ergonomics together with an individual aesthetic appearance important concepts of projects.

Workspace

The studio uses the modern information technology and the Internet to interdisciplinary work on different projects. The fields of activity include architecture, Space architecture, transportation, urban design, furniture design, design of consumer electronics to multimedia art installations. AV works for airlines, space agencies, public institutions, universities and foundations, companies and private property owners. Orders younger date include projects with the ESA, Asiana Airlines, Aero Sekur, the Bird House Foundation, GVM Carrara and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs.

AV have maintained at international conferences on space architecture and technology transfer and sustainability in architecture. In 2008 she taught a semester design in industrial design at the University La Sapienza in Rome and at the University Iuav in Venice.
