Summary:

Werner Sobek is an engineer. An intelligent and gifted engineer, a specialist in lightweight structures, in using fabric where others would pour concrete, in letting glass float where others would frame it in steel. He is an architect as well. And he has worked with some of the most important architects around--Helmut Jahn, Will Alsop, Frei Otto. Werner Sobek's work unites his skill as an exceptional engineer with his talent as an architect. His vision of the built environment is about using minimal resources, being self-sufficient, enjoying daylight to the maximum, repsecting the environment. Ideas that seem formal and serious, but that translate into structures of grace and elegance, conceived at a human scale.
