About Jürgen Mayer H.
Jürgen Mayer H. is a German architect and artist and the founder of the well-known architectural firm J. MAYER H. und Partner, Architekten. Founded in the German capital in 1996, the design studio is known for its considerable body of work and the way in which it transcends the boundaries of disciplines through its expressiveness and creative interpretation of a brief. The studio’s portfolio spans from numerous exhibitions and installations to large-scale urban planning schemes and public buildings. Mayer H.’s architectural language is heavily influenced by art and sculpture, as well as the small details in life.
The studio’s recent projects include Metropol Parasol, the redevelopment of the Plaza de la Encarnación in Seville, Spain; the Court of Justice in Hasselt, Belgium and several public and infrastructural projects in Georgia—for example, an airport in Mestia, the border checkpoint in Sarpi, and three rest stops along the highway in Gori and Lochini. His work has been published and exhibited worldwide. Architect Jürgen Mayer H. was kind enough to sit down and answer a few of our questions regarding his style, design, and recent projects.
