studioMDA

StudioMDA is a multidisciplinary architecture and design office with proven expertise in cultural buildings, art galleries, exhibition stands and exhibitions. The publication takes a look at the relationship between art and architecture and explores different scales. Conversations between artists, architects, gallery owners, art collectors, and exhibition directors about the relationship between space and scale reveal parallels and differences that can be found in the presentation forms of architecture and art, from the initial concept to the final construction.

Walton Ford, born 1960, studied filmmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design, but soon realized he was a painter. For the last 20 years he has been creating large-scale narrative watercolors. His work has been widely exhibited, including solo shows at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin and the Brooklyn Museum in New York.

The Frankfurt and New York-based architecture and design firm StudioMDA has achieved a high degree of visibility in recent years through the completion of many prominent gallery design projects, including the first American location of Lisson Gallery in New York, three New York galleries for Paul Kasmin, and the High Line Nine galleries. This publication examines the firm's interdisciplinary approach to architecture for art spaces, focusing on the interrelated considerations of space, scale and human traffic. Markus Dochantschi, the firm's founder, previously worked for Zaha Hadid Architects, and in 2017 was labeled "the art world's new go-to architect" by Galerie Magazine. Since 2004, with the design of booths for David Nolan Gallery, Dochantschi has steadily built a reputation for StudioMDA on the basis of hundreds of exhibitions, booths and private collections, in addition to over a dozen gallery spaces for Anton Kern, Helly Nahmad, Richard Tattinger, Carpenters Workshop, Bortolami and 303 Gallery, among others. StudioMDA: Artseen , the first publication to assess the full breadth of the firm's work and its distinctive approach, offers an in-depth examination of the design principles and strategic underpinning that has led to StudioMDA's eminence as an authority on art spaces, with extensive accounts of projects from the conceptual stage through to their construction.
