Knowspace, says Erhard An-He Kinzelbach, 'was founded in New York, matured in Vienna and Hangzhou and currently operates from Berlin'. Its portfolio includes twin studio houses for two artists in Songzhuang (pictured) and a courthouse building in St Pölten. Each project's conflicts are a big part of what drives Kinzelbach's design process, as are the architect's mentors, who have included Farshid Moussavi and Wang Shu.
