The exhibition drawing in space by Sauerbruch Hutton provides an insight into the processes of reflection and creation of their architecture. Drawing is an indispensable tool for exploring form, color and material in both real and imagined space. The ambiguity between visual and haptic space as well as the oscillation between space, relief and surface are special features that characterize the work of Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton. For them, color is also an integral part of the spatial and sensual experience of the built environment. Two- to four-dimensional drawings, which also reflect the temporal dimension and the physical state of the visitors, serve to illustrate architectural ideas as well as to project and reproduce specific spatial experiences.

The first exhibition room presents a selection of drawings from 35 years of the architectural practice. Executed in a variety of graphic techniques, they range from urban planning studies to architectural details. The room on the second floor houses an installation conceived especially for this exhibition, which not only addresses the visual and haptic perception of space and its characteristics, but also the ubiquitous presence of media representation. Sauerbruch Hutton: Where space becomes drawing and drawing becomes space, visitors literally find themselves in the middle of the field of tension between image and sculpture, between surface and depth. The catalog documents - in addition to selected drawings and illustrations of the aforementioned spatial installation - a sequence of other spatial polychromatic interventions that Sauerbruch Hutton has designed and realized over the years.

On March 22, 2024, the presentation of the exhibition catalog took place at ANCB The Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory. On this occasion, the spatial drawing of the installation was exchanged. The exhibition was curated by Dr. h.c. Kristin Feireiss, founder of the Aedes Architecture Forum and member of the Board of Trustees of the Tchoban Foundation. Museum for Architectural Drawing, curated the exhibition.
