Abstract
The Mikmak Foundation invited German architect Jürgen Mayer H. for the 'Designers of the Future' lecture 2012, because of the particular relationship in his work between research and architectural practice, combined with a strong interest in articulating the contemporary public realm, including the use and meaning of new media. The contemporary public realm faces enormous challenges, amongst others the introduction of a parallel digital public sphere. How should we envisage the role of the architect in an augmented reality of physical and virtual worlds? In this transcript of the lecture, Mayer H. discusses his viewpoints, research and architectural practice in four parts: 'A-Way', 'Built Work', 'A Country', and 'Metropol Parasol'
