The Frankfurt and New York–based architecture and design firm StudioMDA has achieved a high degree of visibility in recent years through the completion of many prominent gallery design projects, including the first American location of Lisson Gallery in New York, three New York galleries for Paul Kasmin, and the High Line Nine galleries.
This publication examines the firm’s interdisciplinary approach to architecture for art spaces, focusing on the interrelated considerations of space, scale and human traffic. Markus Dochantschi, the firm’s founder, previously worked for Zaha Hadid Architects, and in 2017 was labeled “the art world’s new go-to architect” by Galerie Magazine. Since 2004, with the design of booths for David Nolan Gallery, Dochantschi has steadily built a reputation for StudioMDA on the basis of hundreds of exhibitions, booths and private collections, in addition to over a dozen gallery spaces for Anton Kern, Helly Nahmad, Richard Tattinger, Carpenters Workshop, Bortolami and 303 Gallery, among others.
StudioMDA: Artseen, the first publication to assess the full breadth of the firm’s work and its distinctive approach, offers an in-depth examination of the design principles and strategic underpinning that has led to StudioMDA’s eminence as an authority on art spaces, with extensive accounts of projects from the conceptual stage through to their construction.
