Description

“Als Einladung für den wandernden wie für den ruhenden Blick sind die Gegenräume Utopien, aber nicht einer baubaren Architektur sondern Meditationsräume, schweigende Kuben, in denen man, je länger man hinschaut, einen gewissen sparsam instrumentierten, aber aparten Raumklang zu hören meint, (…).” Walter Grasskamp, in: Willikens, Werkübersicht, S. 120.
