Boris Rüther

Architekt, Assoziierter

Boris begann sein Studium im schwäbischen Biberach (DE). Nach Zwischenstopps in Luzern (CH) und Berlin (DE) absolvierte er an der Staatlichen Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Stuttgart (DE) den Master of Arts.

Neben der Planung und dem Mitwirken beim Umbau des CAD-labs an der Kunstakademie, engagierte sich Boris während seines Studiums auch an der Planung und Realisierung der Ausstellungsskulptur für die 250-jährige Jubiläumsausstellung „Voila" in der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. In den Architekturbüros HASCHER JEHLE Architektur, Berlin und Kauffmann Theilig & Partner, Stuttgart sammelte Boris Praxiserfahrung.

Nach dem Studium hat Boris das neu gegründete STUDIO2050 fasziniert. Hier arbeitete er an Wettbewerben wie der Erweiterung des Mercedes Benz Campus in Stuttgart und dem Guggenheim Museum in Helsinki, Finnland. Das Empfangsgebäude der Firma Schmalz in Glatten (DE) war sein erstes realisiertes Hochbau-Projekt, auf das er nicht nur wegen der Auszeichnung "Beispielhaftes Bauen“ der Architektenkammer stolz sein kann.

Boris betreut derzeit den Bau der Radstation in Tübingen sowie das Stampflehmhaus in Heilbronn.

Mercedes-Benz Campus

Mercedes-Benz Campus

The Mercedes-Benz Campus is intended as the crowning element of Stuttgart’s Neckarpark. “High Tech – High Nature”. What better symbolizes a worthwhile future? The lake in the centre of the campus serves as an energy engine; its role is to help in making aspects of renewable energy understandable. With the "Wave" and other public activities, the visitor himself is encouraged to be part of the spectacle. We have the responsibility for shaping our future ourselves! Both the Campus and the Future Center therefore do not focus on objects, but on people; their movement, their behaviour and their ambitions, people undertaking research, experimenting and sharing their experience in striving to develop a better future.

Experimenta Heilbronn, Germany

Experimenta Heilbronn, Germany

Visitors are greeted with a welcoming gesture. The building opens to all sides, embracing the outdoor space as an integral part of the distinctly exploratory architecture. The extension of the Experimenta floats above the forecourt, before the view of the visitor opens into a fantastic, multi-storey foyer. The cocoon-like forms of the TALENT INCUBATORS emerge as over-sized sculptures through the roof. Weaving between them is the orange space-time spiral, leading into the courtyard of the special exhibition, before diving underneath the forecourt and into the existing building.
