7 architects from different countries -from Russia, Norway, Belgium, Spain, Chile, Japan and China– designing a bus stop in Krumbach, a small functional building in public space.

The Bregenzerwald region is using an apparently minor design task to make comparisons between different vocabularies and schools of thought, between east and west, north and south.
This project is for the most part privately financed through sponsors. The fee for the international architects is somewhat unusual: a holiday in the Bregenzerwald.

The Architects taking part are:
Alexander Brodsky, Russia
RintalaEggertsson Architects, Norway
Architecten de Vylder Vinck Taillieu, Belgium
Ensamble Studio, Antón García-Abril / Débora Mesa, Spain
Smiljan Radic, Chile
Amateur Architecture Studio, Wang Shu / Ly Wenyu, China
Sou Fujimoto, Japan
