Work
Gerkan, Marg und Partners (gmp) is one of the few architects’ offices that adopts a generalist position, assuming responsibility for a project from its inception to completion, including the interior design.
Over the past several years gmp has brought a number of spectacular membrane projects to fruition where membrane material was used in roofing, façades, ceiling covering or as convertible structure. Based on the experience gained through these projects but also with a view to the on-going development of textile building materials, Martin Glass, who has been actively engaged in membrane construction for 14 years, presented a retrospective view and outlined the future prospects regarding the many application possibilities and potential.
