The Horror of Hormak

[germanpostwarmodern]

The work of architects Arno Lederer, Jórunn Ragnarsdóttir and Marc Oei is one of remarkably consistent quality, contemporary but never aiming at short-term effects. Well-versed in the history of modern and classical architecture the architects since 1976 designed a considerable number of outstanding projects: sometimes clearly indebted to classical modernism, sometimes processing Scandinavian influences, often in close exchange with the local traditions and context LRO always seek to improve the overall context in which their buildings are conceived. This core conviction as well as their architectural roots and design principles are outlined in the text introducing the first volume of their work monograph: „Lederer Ragnarsdóttir Oei 1“, first published by Jovis in 2012 and reprinted in 2021, contains 46 projects ranging from housing over commercial buildings to architecture for institutions and in its unagitated but high-quality design perfectly embodies the virtues of the three architects. Consistently illustrated with black-and-white photographs and plans the monograph provides a comprehensive overview of LRO’s architecture from 1976 up until 2012 that also zooms in on the details decisively contributing to the overall quality of their buildings: surfaces, light regime and form coalesce in an architecture encouraging to explore, touch and take a second or third look.

„Lederer Ragnarsdóttir Oei 1“, designed by the architects themselves, is a rare display of both visual and content quality that perfectly embodies the office’s fundamentals. Highly recommended!

Day 10 - Family; they’re Jovis’ rich and doting parents! They’re nameless and WIPs atm, but i’d like to introduce them somewhat.

Rich individuals who live in a temperate but somewhat cold woodsy mountain range in Futh. Their house gives a beautiful view of the mountains. They love to spoil/dote their only child, Jovis. Unlike their son, they rely on animal blood to feed, which is understandably well seen by others. They're influent members in their mountain community- everyone there knows everyone, and those two are held up in high regards.

Mom (on the left) is caring and can normally set limits of what is acceptable, but she doesn't seem to be able to do that with her son. She is fully aware of that flaw, but she prefers to be too kind to Jovis rather than him being unhappy. She works as a teacher in an elementary school.

Dad (on the right) is as caring as his wife, but he's more subtle- he's more about being and having fun than clearly express his fatherly love. But he has issues with setting limits as well- and when he disagrees with Mom, he tends to quietly change his mind rather than have a conflict. He works as a repair mechanic- he can fix a good bunch of machinery, such as radios, dishwashers and other housewares, and current types of cars.

I made my way to the back, my shoulder against the wall, my wrist hidden by my thigh, my head down. If I’d been a better planner, I’d have wrapped the tattoo. Ah well. My face was the bigger problem, and I couldn’t wrap that.

I love one (1) dumbass
