The Don Bosco Earth Campus in Tatale, Ghana, started with its research in 2019 and we are in the midst of construction. This time, after finishing the first classrooms, we are focussing on the housing of the future teachers. It was a joyful process to bring in the magic with the clay plasters. When we asked the workers what is the difference between a cement plastering and a clay plastering they said: you can only do those beautiful ornaments with mud. True!
A big thanks to the entire team of crafts(wo)men and to the-one-and-only Lord Zigato for being such an incredible partner in this project.

"Den Abschluss des Klimafestivals 2024 in Berlin läutete Architektin Anna Heringer mit ihrem Vortrag „Form follows Love“ ein. Unter dem Motto dieser schon häufig zurechtgebogenen Phrase der jüngeren Architekturhistorie hielt sie ein Plädoyer gegen Funktionsfetischismus und für Sinnlichkeit; gegen linearen Ressourcenverbrauch und für Kreisläufe; gegen anonyme Player und für menschliche Beziehungen im Bauprozess."

“I’m a really stubborn realist. I believe that with our profession, we can do better than we do now. And I believe we can build a building and at the same time build up a community. And do this in harmony with nature. 

We can still have hope to make a better place in this world, and this is the mission that I’m having today - that there is hope. We can still have a chance to save our planet, but we have to act now!” - Anna Heringer

The rammed earth building on the Campus St. Michael in Traunstein, Germany is thriving and will be completed at the end of June 2025. Thanks to Büro Romstätter, Lehm Ton Erde and Lehmbau Gärtner, Die Grille and Mühlbacher Hilse Landschaftsarchitekten, Büro Lackenbauer, Manfred Dauhrer and everyone involved in the construction! And to Gabrijela Obert for the construction site photography.
The particular innovation of this public building is that the load-bearing earthen walls are fully loaded and completely exposed to the weather, without a second, protective façade. 
We are looking forward to the completion!

The St. Michael Seminary is the first large building realized by our studio in Europe. It offers 50 students space to live and develop. The load-bearing timber construction was designed by Studio Anna Heringer and realized in a consortium with Köhler Architekten, Munich. Special thanks go to Tobias Mattes!
Many elements that are typical of our architecture were integrated into this building: from retreat niches and earth colors to participatory clay reliefs. Another favorite place is the oratory with a rain of light made of textile, which was created in collaboration with Caritas (thanks Petra!) and embroidered wall panels in collaboration with the boarding school residents and Dipdii Textiles. Thank you also for the beautiful landscape design by Die Grille and Mühlbacher Hilse Landschaftsarchitekten and the site manager Martin Hintereder, the special lighting design by Luxophil, as well as all the craftspeople. The diocese munich-Freising is not only the buildng`s client but also supplied the wood for the façade from its own forests. Thank you!

Last week I had a visit of a friend from North Africa and he said to me, “why has no one, not one architect of the Global North yet apologised for creating an image, an dream of modernity with the false promise of a life in paradise and acknowledged, that it was the wrong way, it was a mistake”? So this is what I want to do now in front of the global community of architects. 

As an architect coming from the global North I ask with all my heart the Global South and the planet for forgiveness, that we created an ideal of an architecture that is supposed to give us an easy, comfortable, non stressful, save, healthy and happy life while in fact we contributed massively to social injustice, making us more rich by exploiting you and by raping the earth, causing dramatic climate change with our profession.

And it did not bring us happiness. It brought us magazine covers, fame, money, jet set life with carbon emitting conferences - but no happiness. It even took us the joy of our profession because we created a corsage of rules and regulations and an atmosphere of fear and control that makes it very difficult to allow real creativity and intuition and a social construction process. 

I ask you for forgiveness that we colonised even your dreams of how a good home is supposed to look like and make you believe that imported materials are superior to the endogenous ones.

I ask you for your forgiveness recognising there is a lot of work to do towards equality, towards peace.

We are at a point in our human history where we need a real alternative way of building and we can only develop this alternative together. As one family sharing one planet.

I`m very fortunate, because before I was an architect in Europe I got trained in Bangladesh by craftspeople, by an NGO and nowadays also by a community in Ghana. And the most essential lessons that I learnt were: use the existing materials, the potentials inside of you, around you and within your network and create something unique out of it. It brings resilience and dignity instead of a dependence on external factors. And for this I’m deeply grateful and  I` m on my way    To use this lesson in my own context in Europe. 

I also learned, that the process is just as important as the outcome.

And:  that you can build up structures and at the same time as you can build up communities. 

Changing is never comfortable but there is a lot to win. A lot of joy. Good relationships. A meaningful life. Happiness

I owe you my heartfelt apology. I owe you my deepest gratitude and my biggest respect.

In the "The Great Repair" exhibition, architect Anna Heringer contributes her expertise in sustainable building practices, focusing on traditional techniques and natural materials. Her work emphasizes the importance of repair and preservation in architecture, aligning with the exhibition's exploration of ecological alternatives to growth-driven narratives. Heringer's projects, showcased in the exhibition, highlight how sustainable design can reduce resource consumption and promote durability, solidarity, and cultural vitality. Her contributions underscore the potential of repair as a guiding principle in contemporary architecture.

The exhibition project "The Great Repair" explores the contradictions between growth and ecology through the lens of architecture's material culture. It presents over 40 contributions from art, architecture, and spatial practices where repair emerges as a new design paradigm. The exhibition examines how repair policies and aesthetics, viewed from postcolonial, feminist, and posthuman perspectives, could offer a meaningful alternative. Concepts such as sufficiency, durability, solidarity, reappropriation, plurality, and care work are explored as politics of a repair society.

The ICO Museum presents a monographic exhibition dedicated to the work of the German architect Anna Heringer.

Using local materials and techniques, Anna Heringer promotes the strengthening of individual and collective confidence, supporting local economies and promoting ecological balance.

A selection of the most representative works of the Anna Heringer Studio will accompany the visitor on a journey through different countries and cultures.

On September 21st Anna Heringer received the Order of Merit from the Germany’s president Frank-Walter Steinmeier and we are deeply happy to share this wonderful news with you. We still can’t believe it!

Thank you to all the colleagues, friends, and team members who shared the joy, visions and passions.

„Anna Heringer is considered a pioneer for sustainable building. She relies on clay as an alternative to concrete. With her philosophy, the internationally highly acclaimed architect "builds a bridge" between old construction methods and modern concepts.”

"She knows how precious our resources are and that we have to protect them. She is rediscovering old building materials for future-oriented architecture," said Steinmeier.”

From 4th June until 31st July 2020

Architecture has the power to change society. Finally, we handle big budgets and
valuable resources. We can build a mere building, and we can build a community at
the same time. We can design so that resources are exploited and a few become
very rich. We can also pursue an emancipatory aspiration that empowers people to
develop local solutions with their existing potential - local materials, human strength,
and creativity. These in turn would strengthen circular economies, promote local
identity and relieve the environment.
If I reduce my inner architectural discourse to the essentials and to one main
strategy, then that is it:
x 7 billion.
I try to multiply every creative decision in my imagination with our current world
population, wondering what the world would look like if everyone were acting,
building the same way. Would it be fair and foster stability? Would it be sustainable
and healthy for people, the planet and society? Leave waste or knowledge? Fit for
future generations? Would it be beautiful and humane?

Dipdii Textiles was present in Art Omi in USA from January 11 – March 1, 2020, part of a beautiful collection of handmade architectural drawings. 

Single-Handedly collects original drawings from a group of accomplished contemporary architects who, in an industry dominated by digital technologies, continue to work by hand.

Radically diverse in scale, materials, technique, subject, and spirit, these works overturn preconceived notions of what an architectural drawing is like. Some are dreamy, fiery and avant-garde, and others pragmatic, reductive and nostalgic.

Deeply informed, but nonetheless unconstrained, by traditional architectural drafting techniques, these renderings exploit an unparallelled formal freedom. Each one contains its own world and tells its own story, rooted in personal imagination.

This exhibit gives vibrant testimony to the still-vital craft of hand drawing in architecture.

This exhibition is co-curated by Warren James, Director, Art Omi: Architecture; and Nalina Moses.

ANNA HERINGER, Anna Heringer architect #anna heringer #tempodacqua #thetimeofwater

Anna Heringer declares “The vision behind, and motivation for my work is to explore and use architecture as a medium to strengthen cultural and individual confidence, to support local economies and to foster the ecological balance. Joyful living is a creative and active process and I am deeply interested in the sustainable development of our society and our built environment. For me, sustainability is a synonym for beauty: a building that is harmonious in its design, structure, technique and use of materials, as well as with the location, the environment, the user, the socio-cultural context. This, for me, is what defines its sustainable and aesthetic value.”

Next to the METI School and DESI building there will be soon a new building: A center for people with disabilities including a workshop for tailoring training and fair textile production. The building will be celebrating being special as a sign of embracing human diversity. We want our building to radiate beauty and through this raise awareness, that everyone is different and precious. Not at all forming a box, the mud walls will be dancing like a butterfly.

Studio Anna Heringer will take part again at the main exhibition of the Biennale in Venice curated by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara and titled FREESPACE.

Both our teams in Laufen (Germany) and Rudrapur (Bangladesh) are working hard to bring this wonderful project to life.

From Saturday May 26th to Sunday November 25th 2018 you will find us at the most beautiful spot of the venue (according to the curators): the Artigliere.

We are looking forward to meet you there! 

To me this day is always an important one. I haven't been a feminist until I became an architect. Not when I was working in Bangladesh I felt treated different or unfair. No, the feeling of inequality started when I got involved in the international architecture scene. There is still a lot to be changed.

It is not just about being more female architects in higher positions. It is also about more female qualities in architecture. More intuition. More empathy and more humanity. More sharing. 

It starts with education. All the focus is on analysing, arguing, structuring, grids... but as much as one can train the left side of the brain, also the right, the more intuitive and freely creative hemisphere can be trained. And more emotional communication instead of only fact based arguing. We need to be good in both parts in order to create holistic qualities of architecture and spaces.

Often what matters most in architecture is the outcome. The nice pictures on glossy paper in the magazine. But the process needs same care. How goals are achieved and not just how many. The quality of the process is just as important as the final building or the number of buildings realized.

And yes, I think we need more women in higher positions, if necessary with a quota until it becomes normal. Inequality needs to be realized before thinking patters can change. Whenever I have the opportunity to work together with a female decision maker I realize how easy it feels, when all this gender battles and games are unnecessary. What a waste of energy. What a difference when you don`t have to proof that you are equally qualified. 

Why are there so many talented female architects that don't dare to stand on their own feet? I think one of the main reason is because of the fear of balancing family and work life. I can tell by my own experience it is not easy. But possible.

So go straight ahead dear fellow women in architecture, have courage and trust and make the world more beautiful and humane!

Am Freitag, 17. November 2017 fand die jahrliche Vollversammlung der Ziviltechnikerkammer fur Oberosterreich und Salzburg in der Wirtschaftskammer Salzburg (WIFI) statt. Neben den Abschlussen und Voranschlagen sowie Berichten uber das Kammergeschehen stand das aktuell in der Politik und den Medien diskutierte Thema Pflichtmitgliedschaft im Fokus der Gesprache.

Fur die feierliche Umrahmung des Festaktes sorgte das Ensemble Trio Negro mit beschwingten Klangen.

"Anna Heringer's sustainable designs lend breathtaking forms to easily-available local materials while developing the skills and consciousness of their builders. [...] resulting in acclaimed projects like woven bamboo hostels in China and the METI Handmade School in Rudrapur, where, along with local workers and schoolchildren, she created a building that drew on locally abundant materials and fostered modern, sustainable building skills in local craftsmen."

The jury unanimously recognised the architectural quality of this project, as well as its modernity. Integrated into the local context, it proposes an interpretation of the archetypes of the rural ksars and the urban medersas. The jury was seduced by this humanist project that combines technology, culture and the socio-economic reality of the region. This architectural sculpture plays skillfully, both externally and internally, with the overlapping of volumes and light and shade."

History and Practice - Exploring the role of history in contemporary architectural practice 
Saturday April 25th, 2009 
The intent of this workshop is to bring together scholars and practitioners of architecture to discuss critical approaches to the role of history within contemporary practice. The situation, we suspect, demands a re-assessment of the theoretical relationship between architect and historian and we suggest that a renewed responsibility toward the discipline and society at large is needed. How can we conceptualize this critical practice?

The Darkside Club - Biennale 2008 in Venice

"The Darkside Club, acts as a satellite event to the Biennale, providing a platform to showcase the best of current thinking within a forum of critical debate. 

The curators for 2008 3x3x3 are three leading experimental practitioners and master teachers Greg Lynn (USA / UAA Vienna), Patrik Schumacher (UK / AA London) and Gregor Eichinger (Vienna / ETH Zurich). The curators will explore issues aligned to how space and architecture perform in an increasingly sophisticated century, which continues to question the physical limitation of the built environment.  

It is hoped that The Darkside Club will continue to create an international dialogue on emerging experimental practice. Through presentation and visuals presented by young practitioners from around the world the curators will offer their themes for debate, to be moderated by some of the leading critics and debated with a panel of leading architects and journalists and the salon as a whole."
