In visionary designs, the interdisciplinary Berlin architectural practice J. Mayer H. Architects sounds out the interface between architecture, urban planning, art installations and the development of new materials. Their projects stand out through a cultural significance that unites construction and sustainability, urbanity and architectural form. Jürgen Mayer H. studied in Stuttgart, New York and Princeton before founding his practice in 1996. He received the Mies van der

Rohe Award Emerging Architects Special Mention (2003) and, among others, the International Architecture Award of the Chicago Athenaeum (2009). Mayer H. has taught at the Architectural Association in London, at Harvard University and at the University of Toronto in Canada. Among the best-known buildings by J. Mayer H. Architects are the Mensa Moltke at the University of Karlsruhe and the “Dupli.Casa” near Ludwigsburg – two projects whose unusual forms offer insight into the

design process. The Metropol-Parasol plan for the comprehensive redevelopment of the Plaza de la Encarnación in Sevilla is currently under construction. The architectural model for the project is part of the permanent collection of the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt/Main.
