J. MAYER H. und Partners focuses on works at the intersection of architecture, communication and new technology. Recent international projects include Metropol Parasol, the redevelopment of the Plaza de la Encarnacion in Sevilla, Spain, the Court of Justice in Hasselt, Belgium, and several public and infrastructural projects in Georgia, such as an airport in Mestia, the border checkpoint in Sarpi and three rest stops along the highway in Gori and Locchini. The office is currently working on a series of new projects, including the Karlsruhe 300 anniversary jubilee pavilion KA300 in the royal gardens, a parking garage facade in Miami, USA, the FOM University, the Rhein740 housing high-rise in Düsseldorf, and VOLT, a new retail and experience complex in the heart of Berlin. From urban planning schemes and buildings to installation work and objects with new materials, the relationship between the human body, technology and nature form the background for a new production of space.
