arrangement created a semi-public hall with a partially public use. In this way
communicative zones develop with expansive spatial qualities and emotional values -
in a word: urbanity.

Holl: Touching on the role of nature in your drafts: On the one hand, there is this
picture of the greenhouse, in which nature appears as something that is quite
cultivated. On the other hand, the impression develops that nature can be also
understood as a concept that counters these forms. Are these then two different
manifestations of nature, both of which represent something different?

Moser: We work with both forms, with the free-growing bush or tree in a natural
context as well as with plants that have been dispensed into architecture. Both forms
serve as supplements to "hard" architecture. Without a doubt, we set nature in
scene and thereby create oases - people from the press appropriately designated the
MFO Park as the "Green Opera". And in the case of Unique City, the natural forms are
those that go over well. In spite of the intention in terms of design and the easily
recognizable dramaturgy, the plants strive toward light and a tree grows out of the
soil. We arrange elements of nature, but we certainly do not estrange them.

Holl: And this produces a particular tension - a means of style?
