HERMANN KAUFMANN + FLORIAN NAGLER
Hermann Kaufmann and Florian Nagler in a conversation.
The client responsible for Schmuttertal Grammar School benefited from input from two firms of architects with a focus on sustainability and modern wooden construction. Prof. Hermann Kaufmann and Prof. Florian Nagler discuss the planning process and their collaboration.
How did the collaboration between your two firms come about? Hermann Kaufmann: Schmuttertal Grammar School was to be Germany’s first school built as a wooden construction in the energy-plus standard. The project is sponsored by the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU). They approached my firm in their search for architects who could offer expe- rience with wooden construction. In view of the project location in Germany, I invited my colleague Florian Nagler to reinforce the team.
