Architecture is responsibility – because it remains.

Design means making decisions that can be justified spatially, materially, and atmospherically.

The work of Felix Schwake connects architecture, interior design, and functional art as consequences of the same method:
perception → judgment → form.

The foundation of the work is the question of how spaces are experienced bodily and how atmosphere emerges.

In spatial theory, Felix Schwake distinguishes between place and space:
Place describes the built structure – geometry, construction, material, and order.
Space describes the experiential atmosphere of a place.

Design does not begin with the image, but with experience.

Felix Schwake is an architect, Professor of Design Methodology, and Dean of Studies for the Bachelor’s programs in Interior Design and Product Design at AMD Düsseldorf.

His work moves between architecture, spatial research, and functional art.

Selected works have been shown internationally and are now held, among others, in private collections in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.
