Schneider Schumacher

We see sustainability as something lasting and beautiful.” Simplicity and perfection, discipline and creativity, economy and memorable images; for schneider+schumacher these are not contradictions, but components of good architecture in its broadest sense. Buildings people enjoy using and with which they can identify. The legendary Info-Box in Berlin, erected shortly after German reunification on what was then the largest building site in Europe, brought the practice worldwide recognition. Since then, over 100 buildings, urban planning projects and numerous industrial products have been realised. The spectrum ranges from housing to industry, encompassing a church on a motorway to a skyscraper and a museum to a particle accelerator. Prize-winning architectural and urban planning projects in Frankfurt include the Westhafen district, a spectacular yet sensitive extension to the existing Städel Museum and the sustainably refurbished Silvertower, now occupied by Deutsche Bahn. schneider+schumacher work together in close cooperation as several companies under one roof: Architecture, Building and Project Management, Design, Parametrics, Urban Planning The main office of schneider+schumacher is located in Frankfurt, with further offices in Vienna, Austria and in Tianjin, China.
