RURAL VISION

Christoph Hesse Architects are based in Berlin and Korbach  a small town in the northwestern
part of the German federal state Hesse. This rural area in the green heart of Germany is the
location of most of the projects the firm has realized since its establishment in 2010. Yet 
occasionally  they do plant their rural concepts into an urban context. Christoph Hesse
Architects and their friends see their designs as open places of culture. On the one hand  they
are catalysts for change in thought  intended to change people's perspectives and stimulate
their self-efficacy in society. On the other hand  they are actual interventions in globally
prevailing structures that can be disrupted and changed locally. Thus  the firm distinguishes
between projects acting as perspective changes and as system changers.     Rural Vision is the
first monograph on Christoph Hesse Architects. It also constitutes a manifesto that illustrates
how collaborative projects create social  ecological  and economic points of contact and
dialogue. Moreover  they promote sustainable change that not only improves people's lives in
rural areas but also redefines change as a source of innovation and social progress. The book
offers alternative strategies based on selected projects through photos  visualizations 
drawings  and plans  as well as essays and conversations.
