  • Hermann Kaufmann has advanced timber construction like hardly any other architect. Born into a carpenter family from the forested state of Vorarlberg, Austria, he studied in Innsbruck and Vienna and launched HK Architekten in Schwarzach in 1983, going on to design numerous pioneering timber structures in Europe and beyond. He has taught in Austria, Liechtenstein, and Germany, most recently as Professor of Design and Timber Construction at Technical University of Munich. He is a driving force behind several research initiatives, exhibitions, and seminal books on timber construction.
