NEUBAU is architecture. We design. We question. We Invent. Space, buildings, rooms, functions, land, programme, objects. Our work is public facing and multi-user, diverse and polythematic, physical and virtual. Our process is synthesis: from a thesis and an antithesis.

The aesthetics are Apollonian and Dionysian at once. Sustainable, social, engaging and inclusive are embedded and unconditional disciplines of our modus operandi. The focus is fixed on the NEW and how to BUILD it.

 

NEUBAU ist Architektur. Wir entwerfen. Wir hinterfragen. Wir erfinden. Raum, Gebäude, Räume, Funktionen, Grundstücke, Programm, Objekte. Unsere Arbeit ist öffentlich und für mehrere Benutzer zugänglich, vielfältig und polythematisch, physisch und virtuell. Unser Prozess ist eine Synthese: aus einer These und einer Antithese.

Die Ästhetik ist apollinisch und dionysisch zugleich. Nachhaltig, sozial, engagiert und integrativ sind eingebettete und unbedingte Disziplinen unseres Modus Operandi. Der Schwerpunkt ist alles NEUe und wie man es BAUt.

 

 

Alexander Giarlis

 

Alex is an RIBA chartered architect who has practised internationally and across a wide range of scales: from art installations, public and private buildings to the master planning of entire cities. His work is driven by processes of re-thinking and re-imagining the norm in search of unexpected and innovative spatial and programmatic results.

Before founding NEUBAU, Alex led and worked on several high profile projects as a senior architect at OMA including Norra Tornen in Stockholm and the Stirling Prize shortlisted Maggie’s Centre Gartnavel in Glasgow. He has taught architecture and urban design at the universities of Delft and Hong Kong and is a guest critic at various institutions in the UK such as the University of Cambridge and the Architectural Association.

Liam Cooke

 

Liam has practised architecture for over six years in Cambridge, Glasgow and Amsterdam. Following his graduation from the Mackintosh School of Architecture, Glasgow School of Art he has been exploring a wider cultural view of how we inhabit buildings, and his experience as a musician has influenced ideas of gathering, storytelling and rethinking the traditional.

Since joining NEUBAU in 2019, Liam has worked on projects at a range of scales from the design and prototyping of furniture to the conception and construction of urban buildings. Projects such as Tower Station, St Mary’s STEM Lab and a series of unique seabird nesting structures have provided a ground to exercise practical and conceptual thinking from the fine detail to the strategic whole.
