Juergen Riehm’s Book List 13 books and 0 comments
This list focuses on a selection of artists and architects that have inspired me throughout my career. While I was studying architecture at the Städelschule Academy of Fine Arts, there was a strong exchange between the students and faculty in all of the various artistic fields. This interdisciplinary collaboration is one of the defining features of 1100 Architect’s work. We have designed residences and studios for artists including Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, and Ross Bleckner; designed the home of the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation; and integrated works of art by James Turrell and Anselm Baumann into our designs. Working for and with these artists has broadened our understanding of the perception of space and continues to have a profound influence on our architecture.

The title of this book says it all. Even while facing death, Kalman continued to work and enjoy every moment of his time left. His personality and spirit are truly inspiring.
Scarpa’s work and sensitivity toward the preexisting condition and history has greatly influenced our work.
I am inspired by how Gordon Matta-Clark’s way of observing architecture forces us to rethink spatial relationships.
Hocke cleverly divides the world into two extreme yet coexisting realms—the fantastical and the rational. Reading this while a student at the Städelschule Academy of Fine Arts, I was struck by his broad way of observing and discovering the world.
As an architect, I find the strongest aspects of Judd’s work to be its relationship to context and the use of material and color.
This catalogue accompanies The Museum of Modern Art’s groundbreaking 2007 exhibition of Serra’s inspiring work.
Extraordinary book that covers the Eameses’ work from the 1940s all the way through the 1970s.
James Turrell’s way of perceiving space through light has been influential in our work at 1100. We had the opportunity to collaborate with Turrell on one of our residential projects, for which the client commissioned the artist to create a scrim-like light sculpture in the main living area.
Rudofsky’s insights into indigenous building practices, or “architecture without architects,” are a reminder that there is much we can learn about design by opening our eyes to the world around us.
Prouvé is the master of optimization of structure and its expression in architecture.

I admire Zumthor’s humanistic approach to architecture. His works have a tactile and experiential quality.
