Projects to create art in the built environment demand a high level of interaction between planning and craftsmanship. The Kunstgiesserei provides support in every phase of the work, from consultation, refinement of the concept and planning, to the crafting of the work and construction management.

When structures are situated in open spaces, the issue of metal conservation must often be addressed. The Kunstgiesserei has the expertise necessary to provide professional assistance in handling this issue. The realisation of theatre sets requires the realisation of complex architectural designs for which technically detailed solutions must be found. Projects that entail work outside of our workshops always involve a stimulating exchange with local and content-related conditions.

Close contact with museums and conservators has also resulted in collaborative research work. As its contribution to the European research project, “The Praying Boy”, the Kunstgiesserei, in cooperation with the Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin, conducted investigations to explore ancient techniques of casting and welding.
