Topotek1 was founded in Berlin in 1996 by Martin Rem-Cano. It works around the field of landscape architecture and understands itself as a traveller within the fringe areas of typologies and scales, jaunting into architecture, urban design, music and art. The hybridisation of topics and disciplines, the removal, transmission and re-contextualization of various design features and objects, and the staging and design of scenographic sequences are just some of their key strategies.
The alertness and receptivity to the general contemporary discussion are maintained through this working method. The global movement of society and culture continually redefines the broad spectrum of possibilities in relation to the constitution of public space.
TOPOTEK 1 develops concepts through a critical understatement of the given realities and a deep historical knowledge. This provides solutions and designs which fulfil the modern requirements of variability, communication and sensuality.
TOPOTEK 1 reflects on public spaces as an expression of visions and society as a whole.
