意大利建筑师卡洛·斯卡帕，出生于威尼斯，早年曾就读于威尼斯美术学院，毕业后进入威尼斯建筑大学从事教学及建筑设计活动。斯卡帕在威尼斯度过了一生中的大部分时间，深受其历史传统、地理特征及人文情感的影响，并将他对威尼斯丰富多变的水域空间特征、精湛的传统手工技术、传统材料以及城市建筑历史层次的理解不知不觉地映射到作品中。作为意大利现代理性主义建筑师，通过他特有的设计理论和手法使其建筑创作极具个性化和强烈的历史性特征，使人深刻地领略出之中的威尼斯情结。

We are collective of designers, architects, urbanists and thinkers operating in Prague, Rotterdam and London.

We are a committed group of all-rounders who love stories. Intriguing stories. Exciting stories. Epic stories. Stories that silence you. Sensitive stories. Poetic stories. Whatever your story is, we tell it in such a way that enriches everyone who comes to see it. We are a versatile team, which can be expanded with additional specialists depending on the project. We’ve got strategic consultants and planners, conceptors and creative directors, spatial, graphic, and interaction designers, scriptwriters and storyboard artists. Art directors, visualizers, content strategists and developers, production supervisors, project managers, contract managers, and media specialists. We have in-house designers of communications, of signage, and of catalogues and, of course, visitor flow and evaluation specialists.

Architects Simona Malvezzi, Wilfried Kuehn and Johannes Kuehn founded Kuehn Malvezzi in Berlin in 2001. Public spaces, museums and exhibitions are the main focus of their work as architects, designers and curators. They realized the architectural design for Documenta 11, the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection in the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum for Contemporary Art in Berlin, as well as the Julia Stoschek Collection in Dusseldorf, which was nominated for the international Mies van der Rohe Award. The firm has designed the reorganization of a number of contemporary and historical art collections, attending to sensitive preservation issues for listed buildings, such as the Museum Belvedere in Vienna, the Liebieghaus in Frankfurt, the Museum Berggruen and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin, as well as the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Brunswick.

Designers should break through the thinking set and form the habit of innovation

Working across continents from Africa to Europe, we strive to engage localities in our design and construction approach. Our philosophy of providing more with less fosters innovation and resourcefulness in our practice, using local materials, local knowledge, and local technologies to create holistic and sustainable design solutions.

Stick to your own design ideas

KNOWSPACE was founded in New York, matured in Vienna and Hangzhou, and currently operates from Berlin. The studio works internationally - with an equally cosmopolitan and local emphasis and a focus on German-speaking countries and China.
