Heinz Bienefeld - Two Family Houses

Bienefeld’s distinct approach, which he developed in fierce opposition to the prevailing spirit of the times, is a source of fascination to the architectural photographer Klaus Kinold and the architecture writer Wilfried Wang: his ground plans were modelled on classical models such as Vitruvius and Palladio, he had a passion for measure and proportion, and he was devoted to the smallest details of craftsmanship and the pursuit of beauty. In his text on the “Architect of Silence”, Wang also discusses Bienefeld’s close relationships with his predominantly private clients.
