When Axel Bruchhäuser from TECTA met the British architects Alison and Peter Smithson in 1980, the idea grew to build a contemporary museum for his chair collection. Over the years the Smithsons redesigned his home and his factory according to the concept of ‘Conglomerate Ordering’. On the factory grounds the creative couple intervened on several places, making it into an ‘industrial park’ á la Schinkel, an old dream of Axel Bruchhäuser. The main buildings house the Kragstuhlmuseum. We recently had the opportunity to visit and photograph the TECTA offices and museum.
