Max Dudler: Architect, Berlin-Swiss, Committed European
In the podcast series “Hochparterre – Architecture, Design, Planning”, Hochparterre publishes a conversation with Max Dudler.
Max Dudler is known for his stone buildings, precisely constructed and timeless. In the podcast, he looks back at post-reunification Berlin, where he distanced himself from the ideological debates about the “right” European city and pursued his own path.
He talks about his background in a family of stonemasons, his work with Oswald Mathias Ungers, and his love of stone — a material he considers sustainable because of its durability. Dudler also speaks about responsibility: for him, sustainability begins with urban planning. And he explains how his offices are to continue working in the future, without him.
