Nussbaumer: As we said, the façade becomes a means of communication, the carrier of the medium as such.

Moser: In the final analysis, we produce completely simple buildings. When you've dealt with architecture for 30 or 40 years and it is always the relatively simple buildings that catch your eye, then you also work with these forms. Actually, I am only fascinated by simple typologies as a consequence of precisely defined sequences of space. From the simple factory and the simple house to the simple Romanic church. But today one often speaks of products, the building is a product and architecture is mere product design. But is that enough? The design comes "from outside" and then inside everything is so dreadfully normal - that makes me very skeptical. We have chosen a different path and concentrate more on the interior of the building, while leaving the exterior in its simplicity.

Holl: This abundance of information, of images which the observer receives - combined with the simple form - indeed complement each other. Does this correspond to the zeitgeist?

Moser: The juxtaposition of a wealth of images and simple shapes goes far beyond the spirit of the time. These poles are old, very old; yet still they can be reinterpreted again and again. We create modern architecture, the Second Modern Age if you will,
