Description: Adam Caruso and Peter St John are currently among the most interesting and innovative of contemporary British architects. They gained international prominence with their closely observed art museum in Walsall, England. The above introductory quote is as meaningful to an understanding of their work as the words `knitting weaving wrapping pressing` which this catalogue and the current exhibition a the Architekturgalerie Luzern illustrate. These terms are synonymous for an architectural work with a complex inner core, offering a playful and inquiring investigation into the possibilities of construction and expression together with precise analytical reflections on urban planning, individual buildings, details, functions and the production of space itself. The combination of these elements produces the controlled, multi-layered yet sensual mood and appearance, which is always an essential aspect of Caruso St John`s reflections on architecture.
