gerner°gerner plus

the poetics of industrial construction

the ability to bring the universal and the concrete into accord is a strong point developed by gerner°gerner plus. they are perfectly able to tune their abstract ideal of constructive modernity, as it were, to clients´wishes and substantial requirements. the technical brilliance shown by their fine frameworks is not set in absolute terms, it is no a priore. rather, it develops from the potential inherent in a given occasion. their dynamics are sharpened in the emergent obstructions of pragmatics, the limitations of which are demonstrated and shifted, without applying provoking dogmatics. their avent-gardism is ideologically independent, attached neither to a material nor a geometry. they build in steel as well as in wood, be it curved or edged. it is primarily decisive to fully work and to integrate the concomitant advantages into customers´ programs: short construction periods, dry assemblings, reduced costs and material, flexibility in building and occupancy, efficiency and easiness of spatial atmospheres.
