NUTZ
NUTZ (meaning 'use' in German): Nutz is the essence of using, making use
of, re-using and 'what use it is'. Use is not only function but rather
functions being created by using. For us, use is re-using something. We
see re-using as enabling the use of structures that have lost their original
function. Many of our projects deal with the re-using (umnutzen) of space.
The user consumes Nutz. Nutz is far more complex than function. Architecture
needs Nutz. Nutz makes form intelligent.
A special degree of Nutz is hacking. A hacker uses a thing or structure
for something else than it is usually used for. For our project »Hell
Cuisine« we have used construction-machines for cooking. The use
of »alienated« materials and buildings could be a hack, too.
