cdmb architects

Christophe DM BARLIEB founded the studio to collaborate with artists, architects and institutions in solving design and construction matters; and to pursue the research & development of conceptual architectures with computational design & performance based tools.

This small Berlin based studio collaborates with talented, inspiring and dynamic individuals employing interactive & procedural design tools, new technologies and materials to abstract the complexities found within the design problems and processes to arrive at meaningful architectural proposals.

Missions
Produce a wide spectrum of sustainable architectural visions for present and future generations.

This architecture celebrates nature. Writing extensively prior to establishing architectural representations gives us freedom in scripting the atmospheres of life and to arrive at coherent design proposals. The architectural journeys are stories conveying emotional and rational experiences, creating myths and defining possible cultures. The ideas lead to discovering and inventing new and flexible architectural forms, functions and histories inherent to their sites and times.

Knowing the problems and the apparent solutions to questions is something we distance ourselves from. We are fascinated by the thin red line connecting the dots leading towards the unknown. The projects are somewhat epic journeys meant to stir minds and inner spirits in the hopes of connecting us all. It is our belief that architecture can lead to healthier lifestyles. We willing share ideas with neighboring and distant disciplines to generate new thought and discourse and to perpetuate the search of universal chords and harmonies that shape beauty and mystery.

Architecture embodies the unique quality of bridging intuitive and logical space in a variety of environments. The architectural meaning defines its spirit, its soul, its place, bonding people of all cultures and walks of life.

This vision is a quest uniting architectural realities and messages designed to explore the meanings of our environments and to define our sense of place within nature.
