Hemma Fasch is a founding partner of Fasch & Fuchs Architekten, and a visiting professor at TU Vienna. Together with Jakob Fuchs, they have founded their architectural practice in 1994, with offices in Vienna and Hausmannstätten. In 2011 the team was supplemented with Fred Hofbauer.

The works of Fasch & Fuchs Architekten are characterized by sophisticated constructions and a subtle use of daylight. The office has been awarded for multiple educational and cultural projects. In 2021 they were nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award/ European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture, for their project School Campus Neustift, in Tyrol, Austria.

School Campus Neustift was a winning project of the competition “A school of tomorrow”, by Tyrol municipality and council. In their reasoning, the jury stated:

“Fasch & Fuchs architects succeeded in integrating the extensive spatial program into the landscape as a matter of course. Their idea of laying a large part of the volume between a two-storey building along the street and the tower-like boarding school at the lower end of the property like a green carpet over the slope – was ingenious.”

Importance of daylight in schools

Daylight Talk with Hemma Fasch under the title “Into the Light” will present Fasch & Fuchs Architekten daylight approach and strategies in educational and cultural projects.

The talk will take place on Thursday 29 April 2021, at 16:00 (CET) and it will be transmitted live from Fasch & Fuchs Architekten studio.

The planned duration is 45 minutes, followed by an open 30 minutes of Q&A session. Participation at the event is free, with required registration via this link
