You work with different materials. Which one do you like best? I enjoy the advantages of versatile materials. As a trained Zimmermann, however, my heart beats for wood in a special way! It ages gracefully. It is easier to work with than stone or metal. All you need is a hammer, a few nails, a sharp saw and - bang - anything is possible! It even works without electricity. **What role do new manufacturing techniques play in your design approach? I find 3D printing very interesting in two respects: from the architect's point of view, the flexible production of 3D printing is particularly exciting for customized one-offs or small series. From the craftsman's point of view, I like the idea that the means of production are freeing themselves from the monopoly of industry. Smaller companies could also benefit from this in the future. **How would you describe the way you work to get from the idea to the finished product? At the beginning, you only have a vague goal in your head and this is followed by a mixture of research, trial and error, discarding and further thinking. All means are right as tools in the process: from the sketch on the beer mat to the physical model to the 3D model.
