Claudia Okonek

Kunst in der Architektur und in der Landschaft bedeutet das Berücksichtigen und Unterstützen der natürlich gewachsenen Umgebung, mit ihren Notwendigkeiten und langfristigen Bedingungen, das Schaffen von Aufmerksamkeit, ein Sensibilisieren und Erfinden.
Ob im Kontrast oder im Konsens, es bedeutet ein Zusammengehen mit der vorhandenen oder geplanten Architektur und dem Menschen.
Orte schaffen, die lebenswert sind.
