New address III

Images from our Office Inauguration with the president of @bauhaus_uni

After carefully considering a range of office options, we concluded that a treehouse is the most reasonable solution for @oppositeoffice

You can now find us at Geschwister-Scholl-Straße in #weimar

Our sincere thanks to the President of @bauhaus_uni @peterbenz.buw for providing the grounds of the historic Baumhaus University for our office. Thanks to the Chair of Structural Design @bauhaus_ket Torsten Müller and @prof.dr.michaelherrmann for ensuring that the treehouse was calculated with safety factors generous enough to satisfy both physics and bureaucracy
Thanx at Frank Motz of @accgalerieweimar for helping frame our modest structure intelectually as part of a living architectural heritage, an argument that proved surprisingly useful in conversations with the authorities. Thanks also to @villamassimo.de @juliadraganovic for graciously accepting that our correspondence now comes from a somewhat unconventional address. Thank you at @noibau_official and @elodie_grande for building and thank you for the great Gefährdungsbeurteilung from @bauhaus_uni

We look forward to welcoming visitors, clients and also more than human beeings.

Inclusive design starts here with light, choice, community.

This 10,000 m² workshop was designed for 120 people with disabilities—but the architecture goes far beyond simply meeting accessibility requirements.
Three courtyards—a triangle, square, and circle—bring daylight deep into the 50-metre floorplate while making the building easier to understand, navigate, and inhabit.

Visual connections between workshops encourage awareness of one another. Circular windows open glimpses into different activities. A compact circulation loop, communal heart, and roof terrace create opportunities to meet beyond the workplace itself.

Even the industrial material palette—concrete, steel, timber, and translucent polycarbonate—is balanced by light, landscape, colour, and places to pause.

The most important move here is simple:
inclusion isn’t treated as an added feature. It shapes the architecture from the beginning.

MAKE AMERICA tiny AGAIN
Good to know that there are also Americans who understand correctly their own size.
Our Baumhaus Office has been published a lot in last time but this is definitely the most charming publication that arrived today in our mailbox!

The Tiny Times from Utah. A tiny newspaper and museum. Sometimes the smallest publications make the BiGGEST impression!
Thank you @tinyartshow for this wonderful piece of mail.

ARIANUOVO 43 : Opposite Office
Casa Editrice Libria, 2026
ISBN 9788867644070
Lingua Italiano/ Inglese
248 Pagine

.
Lo studio Opposite Office fondato da Benedikt Hartl si occupa delle questioni architettoniche che intercorrono tra ambiente, politica e società. La raccolta presentata in questo libro raccoglie frammenti di idee sviluppate in risposta alle mutevoli condizioni vissute, politiche, ecologiche e sociali. Se degli storici dovessero ritrovare questo libro tra migliaia di anni, non troverebbero solo un libro sull’architettura, ma riflessioni sulle incertezze e le contraddizioni del nostro tempo Il volume è un archivio di concorsi perduti, rivoluzioni incompiute e idee testarde. La maggior parte di questi progetti non era destinata a vincere e, come dice Benedikt Hartl nella lunga intervista di Sabrina Morreale “perdere il concorso era quasi il punto. Questo libro non è un giro trionfale, ma una silenziosa ribellione in forma stampata. È un’opportunità per riflettere sul mio lavoro al fine di cercare un futuro”.

Unsere Ausstellung Fictional Infrastructures bei @m.books_on_architecture in Weimar läuft noch bis zum 5.September. Kommt vorbei und steckt euren Kopf rein!

Fictional Infrastructures ist ein mobiles Museum und filmisches Langzeitprojekt von Opposite Office, das Archi-
tekturmodelle als Fragmente paralleler Wirklichkeiten inszeniert. Für die Ausstellung bei M Books wird der Raum selbst zu einer räumlichen Apparatur zwischen Archiv, Kino und Beobachtungsstation.
Durch Schaufenster, Projektionen, Guckkästen und filmische Überlagerungen entsteht eine spekulative Um-
gebung, in der Architektur nicht als abgeschlossenes Objekt erscheint, sondern als Teil eines instabilen ökologi-
schen und medialen Systems. Neben Modellen, Videos und Zeitungsartikeln zu unseren Projekten gibt es auch ein Hologramm zu sehen.

Vielen Dank an @noibau_official @villamassimo.de @elodie_grande @juliadraganovic @julia.trolp @stadtweimar Bild 2 (c) Elodie Grandemange

Ausstellungseröffnung in der @accgalerieweimar nächste Woche am 23.7 um 19:00 mit @villamassimo.de. In Rom haben wir „Der Letzte Stipendiat“ gezeigt. In Weimar zeigen wir „Der Letzte Stipendiat II“. Kommt vorbei! :)

Link zur Veranstaltung in Bio:
Der Rompreis der Deutschen Akademie Rom Villa Massimo gilt als die bedeutendste Auszeichnung für deutsche und in Deutschland wirkende Künstler*innen. Seit 2020 präsentiert die Villa Massimo ihre aktuellen Stipendiat*innen in einem jeweils wechselnden Bundesland. 2026 fiel die Wahl auf Weimar. In der ACC Galerie Weimar begegnen sich die Rompreisträger*innen der Jahrgänge 2024/25 und 2025/26.

Die Ausstellung bringt jedoch nicht nur die Ergebnisse eines zehnmonatigen Aufenthalts in Rom nach Weimar. Sie fragt vielmehr danach, was zwischen Ankunft und Abreise geschieht. Welche Ideen entstehen in den Ateliers der Villa Massimo? Welche Wege werden eingeschlagen, verändert oder verworfen? Welche Spuren hinterlässt Rom als Ort der Inspiration, der Reibung und des Experiments?

Im Mittelpunkt steht deshalb nicht allein das fertige Werk, sondern der Prozess seiner Entstehung. Die Ausstellung richtet den Blick auf jene oft unsichtbaren Momente künstlerischer Produktion, die zwischen erster Idee und abgeschlossener Arbeit liegen. Skizzen, Notizen, Entwürfe, Modelle, Partituren, Prototypen, Versuchsanordnungen und Fragmente erscheinen hier als Zeugen eines Werdens, das gewöhnlich hinter dem fertigen Werk verschwindet. Zwischen Aufbruch und Ankommen, Konzentration und Zweifel, Euphorie und Scheitern entstehen nicht nur Kunstwerke, sondern auch Erfahrungen, Haltungen und neue Perspektiven. (…)
