fasch&fuchs.architeken, Austria
Fred Hofbauer has been an architect and partner at one of Austria’s leading architectural firms, fasch&fuchs.architeken, since 2011.
The firm fasch&fuchs.architeken was founded in 1994. They deal with all fields of architecture, most recently with a focus on educational buildings. Their architectural philosophy focuses on connections that transcend the structure of buildings and the desire for open space. They follow the concept of connection spatially, structurally, socially, and functionally. They are always looking for new connections and asking themselves different questions that lead to innovation.
Rarely is something new a standalone element or an isolated fact; in most cases, innovation arises when we develop the familiar in new contexts: we question familiar strategies and create new connections and associations. For fasch&fuchs.architekten, this is an essential part of architecture. Every task and every environment sets certain conditions. By questioning and reorganizing them, they find the best possible solutions. Sustainable design and conservation of natural resources are not just buzzwords for them, but their way of working.
