Peter Haimerl
Peter Haimerl was born in 1961 in Eben, Bavarian Forest. Peter Haimerl, whose architecture office was established in Munich in 1991, questions the boundaries of architecture and urban design. He concentrates on projects, which cross the line of conventional architecture. In every project, he demands fascinating and unconventional solutions to create innovation. In order to achieve coherent concepts, he melds his architectural view with other contexts such as computer programming, sociology, economics, politics and conceptual art. E.g. zoomtown. This project is an open research platform to optimize and reorganize urban design. Currently Peter Haimerl dedicates his work to the leitmotif “attraction instead of restriction” and is interested in construction within existing structures. Each project is special, the requirements are specific, the solutions subtle.
