Gestalten

In the words of editor Lukas Feireiss, Spacecraft: Fleeting Architecture and Hideouts is "a very playful book that arouses curiosity through the experimental and joyful diversity and visual power of its projects". In equal measure this could be said of our interview feature in which Lukas gives further insight into the background of the Gestalten publication.

Showing roundabout 200 installations and buildings from all around the world that build imaginative bridges between the worlds of art, architecture and design, Spacecraft does not only reach out to architects but serves as a kaleidoscopic source of inspiration for creatives across all disciplines.

On the one hand the book features flexible, fleeting structures that only exist for a limited time such as artistic spatial interventions that live from their performative quality or mobile living units roaming freely beyond the paved routes of conventional architecture. On the other hand, Spacecraft focuses on spaces that are used temporarily. Whether vacation homes, urban hideouts, art pavillions or studios, all of the included work is distinguished by an challenging and poetic approach to spatial design.
