François Valentiny and Hubert Hermann founded their studio shortly after graduating from the University of Applied Arts Vienna where they both studied under Wilhelm Holzbauer. Soon after, they staked out their architectural vision with their urban villa for the Berlin IBA.

Stories from the Inside is a retrospective looking back over forty years and telling the stories behind their many designs and buildings. Five richly illustrated volumes contain material from the archives of the Valentiny Foundation and present current projects with a focus on cultural, residential, administrative and leisure facilities.

The final volume documents the 15–19 Wisswee project in Remerschen. Intellectual journeys and international projects culminate here, from the World Exhibition Pavilion in Shanghai to the Theatro de l'Occitane in Bahia and the Haus für Mozart in Salzburg.
