Bolle Tham (*1970) und Martin Videgård (*1968) gründeten 1999 ihr Architekturbüro in Stockholm. Ihr House K und das Double House (beide 2005 fertig gestellt) wurden stark beachtet; mit dem Kalmar Museum of Art (2008 eröffnet) erlangten sie endgültig internationale Aufmerksamkeit. Sie gehören zu den von Herzog & de Meuron eingeladenen jungen Architekten für das Ordos 100 Projekt in China. Derzeit planen sie die neue School of Architecture auf dem Gelände des Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm; ihr Moderna Museet Malmö hat jüngst die Tore geöffnet. Tham und Videgård gehen bei ihren Entwürfen von der Nordischen Tradition aus – Naturverbundenheit und sparsamer Mittel-Einsatz – sowie von den realen Projekt-Gegebenheiten, das Resultat sind dann aber Gebäude, die durch ihre überraschende Formgebung faszinieren.

Bolle Tham (b. 1970) and Martin Videgård (b. 1968) founded their architecture firm in Stockholm in 1999. Their House K and Double House (both completed in 2005) received widespread attention; they finally won international recognition with the Kalmar Museum of Art (which opened in 2008). They are among the young architects invited by Herzog & de Meuron to participate in the Ordos 100 project in China and are currently planning the new School of Architecture on the campus of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm; their Moderna Museet Malmö has just opened its doors. In their designs, Tham and Videgård take as their starting points the Nordic tradition – closeness to nature and economy of means – as well as the concrete parameters of the project on which they are working; the result, however, is buildings with surprising and fascinating forms.
