Our take

Using the period of time from when a bomb is launched to when it hits its target as a conceptual starting point, Heinz Emigholz’s architectural study exemplifies his keen eye for composition and sound design. Global in its scope, The Airstrip teases meaning from its contemplative structural rhythms.
