Sauerbruch Hutton: The New Experimenta in Heilbronn
Edited by Louisa Hutton, Matthias Sauerbruch. Text by Florian Heilmeyer.
Chronicling the history and construction of a new science center building in Heilbronn
This slim volume examines the architecture of the new Experimenta Science Center in Heilbronn from three different perspectives. Seen in terms of urban history, this building—designed by Berlin-based firm Sauerbruch Hutton—simultaneously stands as an icon and a tool for change. As a construction, it follows its own experimental path, both in organizational, structural and ecological terms. Finally, the project is the late offspring of a typological family of spiral buildings which stretches from antiquity via the modern movement up to the present. All three perspectives are captured in Florian Heilmeyer’s concise and lucid texts and are illustrated by numerous photos and drawings.
