J. MAYER H. und Partner, Architekten Zementhaus Knesebeckstrasse 30 10623 Berlin Germany
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, for example an airport in Mestia, the border checkpoint in Sarpi and three rest stops along the highway in Gori and Locchini.

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.
