The architectural office J. Mayer H Architects, founded in 1996 in Berlin, focuses on works that combine architecture, communication, and new technologies. Among the recent projects are the town hall in Ostfildern in Germany, the student center of the University of Karlsruhe, and the reconstruction of Plaza de la Encarnacion in Seville, Spain. Whether it is urban studies, houses, or object installations, the relationship between the human body, technology, and nature creates the foundation of newly emerging space.
Jürgen Mayer H. is the founder and director of this interdisciplinary studio. He studied at the University of Stuttgart, The Cooper Union, and Princeton University. His work is known worldwide, has been published and exhibited numerous times, and is part of art collections, such as MoMA in New York and MoMA in San Francisco. He has received several national and international awards, including Special Mention in the Emerging Architect category of the Mies van der Rohe Award 2003 and winner of the Holcim Award Bronze 2005. Jürgen Mayer H. has lectured at Princeton University, the University of Arts in Berlin, Harvard University, Kunsthochschule in Berlin, the Architectural Association in London, Columbia University in New York, and the University of Toronto in Canada.
Jürgen Mayer H. accepted an invitation from the Goethe Institute to lecture during Architectureweek on September 21, 2009, in Prague.
