Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes   Paris / Vienne

« The work of Dietmar Feichtinger plays with technique and its potential, making one forget the usual limits of spatiality. (…) His projects demonstrate everything an architect stands to gain from working in an interdisciplinary and international manner. The glass pavilion designed in Paris with the engineers of RFR is, in a way, the calling card of a body of work still young. The almost-floating glass roof, carried by two networks of cables and a compression arch, marries an elegant constructive concept with a very clear determination to maintain continuity between interior and exterior space. Even more assured is the drive for balance between functionality, spatial quality and technical prowess in the award-winning Hanover exhibition hall project. In this structure one can read the potential opened up by research that integrates several fields. The coherence of the whole — maintained despite the multiplicity of elements — answers the questions posed with great skill. This festive space is a luminous hall in which every decision, every detail, contributes to the whole. » – Walter M. Chramosta
