Background & practice
Gottfried Böhm studied architecture and sculpture in Munich, later working in his father's office and on the reconstruction of Cologne. His official biography describes an interest in connections: between old and new, ideas and physical form, and a building and its urban setting. Sculpture informed the clay models used during design. His work varies from modest to monumental, with material and colour considered as parts of the surrounding place.
