Radicality in the office buildings of Riepl Riepl is not manifested in an extreme contradiction to the surroundings, but rather lies in its original sense as a bare dealing with hidden rooting (Radix - root), as a surprising (re-)ruffling of hidden qualities long discovered. Whether it concerns transforming old buildings or planning "on greenfield sites," their designs cause a revolution while also ensuring a positive reception that was not achieved through imitation (Mimesis), but through contemporary analytical, technical, and aesthetic means.
Riepl Riepl overlays each new arrangement of space with a certain ambiguity, avoiding constraining linear causality and flattening materialism. Peter Riepl speaks of optical and functional "wobbling effects" as a strategy to leave behind the classical deposits of modernity.
