ExhibitionUwe Schröder Werkverzeichnis

The architect, professor, and author Uwe Schröder has shaped the debate on fundamental themes of architecture—topology and typology, space and aesthetics—for more than three decades with his clear, uncompromising stance. These two beautifully crafted volumes present, for the first time, his award-winning oeuvre in its entirety: buildings and designs with numerous photographs and drawings, as well as the key texts Schröder has written over the years and his Raumentwurfslehre (theory of spatial design). The books open with essays by Bonn-based architecture journalist David Kasparek, who also compiled the complete chronology of Schröder’s work. When viewed together, a fascinating picture emerges of the reciprocal influences of building, thinking, and teaching—disciplines so often regarded as separate.

Presented at the exhibition will be the newly published volumes I and II of Uwe Schröder Werkverzeichnis (catalogue raisonné). Together, the exhibition and publications represent not a conclusion, but instead a provisional statement concerning Schröder’s oeuvre up to this point, which can be conceived as marking out a continuous spiral movement that revolves around the theme of architectural space.
