Jan Fischer
What convinced you to become part of the hej.build architectural advisory board?
The exchange with manufacturers and colleagues. The opportunity to give feedback and possibly change a few small things.
What are you most interested in at the moment in terms of architecture, interior design or building products?
The building turnaround, especially with functional and social sustainability - in planning, building practice and the consumption of resources. How do we manage to break new ground - with confidence, feasible costs and reasonable effort?
What is good architecture/interior design for you – in a few words?
It must create a place that people enjoy visiting, using and living in and ideally offer added value on several levels: for the users, the neighborhood, the district. And it should be mindful of what is already there and what is needed to create it.
Is there a current highlight or an all-time favorite project that you would like to tell us about?
Our Magdas Hotel in Vienna: We got the maximum out of a minimum of resources - reorganized what was already there and created a great joint project by motivating and activating many people.
What motivates you in your work?
How we develop things plays a big role for me - the process loops of listening, adapting and communicating as well as the fun of working together.
