JUERGEN MAYER H. - Lecture @ Princeton SoA
Wednesday around 5 p.m. in Betts Auditorium - School of Architecture, Princeton University - Princeton, NJ 08544 – (609) 258-5904 - USA - 12/13 LECTURE SERIES: WHAT I DID NEXT — PRINCETON'S ALTERNATIVE ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICES - During the academic year 2012/13 Princeton SoA will stage a series of public conversations around alternative practices in architecture through the work of 85 distinguished alumni from the last 25 years. At a moment when the profession is going through some important questions on a global scale, we will explore the broad range of practices of our recent alumni that spin from or gravitate around architecture, seeking alternatives to the established forms of architectural practice. We will highlight Princeton's commitment to experimental work at the edge of the discipline, and on our alumni's engagement with a wide range of contemporary practices to outline propositions for alternative forms of practice. - www.princeton.edu 06.03.2013

Model of Metropol Parasol @ MoMA NY
9+1 Ways of Being Political: 50 Years of Political Stances in Architecture and Urban Design September 12, 2012–March 25, 2013 - The political potential of architecture was one of the founding credos of the avant-garde. Yet today it is commonly believed that it has been overwhelmed by economic realities and by the sense that architecture is symbiotic with existing power structures. This is belied both by the rise of a neo-avant-garde in the 1960s and 70s, and by emerging practices that bear witness to a rebirth of social and political engagement. This installation from MoMA’s collection offers a fresh perspective on the ways in which architects have responded actively to the ever-evolving conditions of the polis. 09/11/2012

Es entsteht etwas Neues, das für jeden offen und frei zugänglich ist und sich als Ort des Dialogs und Diskurses versteht. Die freie Form des Baukörpers ist von allen Seiten aus gleichwertig präsent.

WIRRWARR @ Pictographs, Biennale Architettura 2012, Common Ground
Excerpt from the article by world-architects.com: "One of the highlights in the Arsenale is the "Pictograms" installation, curated by Swiss architect Valerio Olgiati. A large table sits in the middle of the space paralleled by a white drop ceiling. A linear light fixture illuminates the small images on the table, inspirational images selected by the various architects that Olgiati brought together. The size of the images, the height of the ceiling, and even the height of the table work together to make it an intimate experience. One gets close to "views into the mind of the architect's visual world," as Olgiati intended. Also, the space effectively balances the exhbitions two poles of display, acting as both an immersive environment and a collection of artifacts." J.

Sonnenhof in July 2012
July 2012 marks the finish of the concrete constructions of Sonnenhof, Jena. Sonnenhof consists of four new buildings with office and residential spaces. Located on a consolidated number of smaller lots in the historical center of Jena, Germany, the separate structures allow for free access through the grounds. Their placement on the outer edges of the plot defines a small-scale outdoor space congruent with the medieval city structure. Its outdoor facilities continue the building's overall design concept past the edges of the lot. The planned incorporation of commerce, residence and office enables a small-sectioned and flexible pattern of use that also integrates itself conceptually into the surroundings. The project is due to be finished in 2013. More about Sonnenhof... 07/09/2012

The Sky's the Limit - Applying Radical Architecture
Announcement by the Publisher: New possibilities for seemingly impossible buildings and spaces. Editors: R. Klanten, S. Ehmann, S. Borges, Release Date: May 2012, Format: 24 x 30 cm, Features: 288 pages, full color, hardcover, Language: English ISBN: 978-3-89955-422-9. Thanks to innovations in building materials, design technologies, and construction tools, a new generation of architects can finally realize structures that would have previously remained mere dreams. This emergence of a new vernacular of radically sculpted buildings, rooms, and installations melds rigorous usability with a playful and cutting edge aesthetic, facilitating highly functional yet undeniably exhilarating spaces. The Sky’s the Limit serves as a compelling exploration of these seemingly impossible, yet surprisingly practical structures and spaces. This book presents spectacularly formed buildings, façades, and interiors as well as inspiring temporary projects and urban interventions by both young and established talents. The projects featured here have all been built and transport us to the outer limits of our spatial imagination. Available here. More about Metropol Parasol... 05/15/2012

Rest Stops - Completion of Construction
In 2009, the head of the Roads Department of Georgia commissioned J. MAYER H. to design a system of 20 rest stops for the new highway, a thoroughfare that will run through Georgia and serve as a connection between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Turkey. Two rest stops are now complete, while a third is currently under construction. The new rest stops are located on selected scenic viewpoints along the route and serve as activators for their area and neighbouring cities, including not only nearby a gas stations and supermarket, but also a farmers market and a cultural space for local arts and crafts.

Berliner Morgenpost 26/04/2012
Auzug aus dem Artikel: "Ein Neubau, der Wellen schlägt - Berlins heimlicher Star-Architekt J. Mayer H. präsentiert sein erstes Projekt im Bezirk Mitte (...) JOH3 ist der knappe Name des Wohnhauses, das direkt neben der denkmalgeschützten Kalkscheune an der Johannisstrasse 3 in Mitte eine Baulücke schliesst. Und Zeigt: Selbst strikte Vorgaben der Stadtplaner und Denkmalschützer bezüglich der Masse und Kubatur eines Neubaus im historischen Umfeld lassen noch Spielraum für innovative Architektur. Dabei hat nicht nur der klassische Gründerzeitstuck, sondern ebenso die sonst bei vielen Berliner Neubauten vorherrschende Eintönigkeit ausgedient." Mehr zu JOH3... 26.04.2012
Excerpt from the article, “A New Building Making Waves – Berlin’s secret star architect J. Mayer H. unveils his first project in Mitte, the city’s downtown district (...) JOH3 is the short-hand name for the residential building directly next to the monument-protected Kalkscheune building at Johannisstrasse 3, closing one of Mitte’s inter-building spaces. And it goes to show: even city planner and heritage-protection authorities’ strict dimension- and cubage guidelines for buildings in the historical area leave enough room for innovative architecture. Here, not only has the classic Wilhelminian style plastering proved a thing of the past, but also the prevailing uniformity seen with so many new Berlin structures. Mehr about JOH3... 04/26/2012
