    JÜRGEN MAYER H. gives us Metropol Parasol, updating an old Sevillian plaza into a 21st century public space.

    Jürgen Mayer H. is German architecture’s greatest and most charming hope since Bauhaus. The early-forties glint in his eyes is lively and the attractive blend of Swabian and American accents in his soothing voice bears witness to his Stuttgart childhood and subsequent studies in New York and Princeton. In keeping with what has become something of a cliché for modern architects, Mayer H. occupies an old-style flat in Berlin’s elegant Charlottenburg district. On the floor below is his growing office, J. Mayer H. Architects, (the dangling letter “H.” actually belongs to his middle name), which he now shares with sixteen assistants. The model workshop, along with the Styrofoam cutter, has been housed in the bathroom. Clearly, this is a compromise situation. As Mayer H. points out, the only reason for living and working in a prewar apartment is a shortage of suitable alternatives
