History

Delugan Meissl Associated Architects – DMAA for short – is a Vienna-based architectural office, which was founded by Elke Delugan-Meissl and Roman Delugan as Delugan Meissl ZT GmbH in 1993. Dietmar Feistel and Martin Josst have been partners since 2004. The management team is completed by the associated partners Sebastian Brunke and Bernd Heger and the project partner Philip Beckmann. The office works on a broad range of building projects in Europe, North America and Asia, many of which have been preceded by success in an architectural competition. The origins of the office can be traced back to a series of large residential buildings in Vienna, with which Delugan Meissl made a name for themselves at an early stage through their use of a powerful and autonomous formal language. “The ultimate aim of the design process is to experience that magical moment, to discover that point in the imagination or that basic idea from which everything else springs.” (Roman Delugan) The design process, which is based on an intuitive approach but developed with systematic precision, pays special attention to the functional integration and the spatial incorporation of the building into the surrounding urban or landscape context. Against the background of a continuous examination of the subject of housing, the Austrian Contribution to the 15th Architecture Biennale in Venice in 2016, which was curated by Elke Delugan-Meissl under the title “Places for People”, was devoted to the movement of refugees towards Europe, which was then at its height, and the associated challenge of how to offer people dignified accommodation at very short notice. The architects, who were honored with the Grand Austrian State Prize in 2015, are, "among Austria's most internationally successful architects" who are distinguished by their "multi-layered, partly radical work in the field of architecture" according to the Minister of Culture Dr. Josef Ostermayer.

Questions and architecture

In order to do justice to the special responsibility of architecture, DMAA has established its own online magazine entitled “Questions and Architecture”, which offers a profound investigative-journalistic and cultural-scientific insight into general developments and current challenges, illustrated with references to some of the office's current projects.
