Topic
In a presentation of his projects, Dietmar Feichtinger illustrated the relationship between spatial perception, technical implementation and beauty. He described the influence of various geographical situations, urban spaces and natural landscapes on the design process. In this way, the interpretation of design tasks becomes the stimulating element of his projects, and everything is developed starting from a constructional and spatial approach.
Dietmar Feichtinger also highlighted that he tries to find a specific answer to each design task and location, whether embedded in an urban or landscape context.
