A day in Germany’s most successful competition office
For my client competitionline Verlags GmbH, I spent two days visiting the renowned architecture firm gmp Architekten von Gerkan, Marg und Partner in Hamburg and was allowed to get a taste of every area of the company. GMP are the winners of the Competionline Ranking 2023 and we photographed a detailed reportage: ‘A day in Germany’s most successful competition offices’
From the headquarters on Hamburg’s Elbchaussee, Volkwin Marg and the gmp partners steer the fortunes of what is probably Germany’s best-known architecture firm. The challenge for gmp lies in the constant dialogue about the content and direction of design between the offices in Hamburg, Berlin, Aachen, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hanoi, explains Volkwin Marg.
