Carlos Martinez

Carlos Martinez has been running his architectural office in Berneck for over 30 years. He made a name for himself through his collaboration with Pipilotti Rist entitled ¿roter Teppich von St. Gallen¿ (¿red carpet of St. Gallen¿), a wonderful urban-planning intervention that brings together the formerly haphazard conglomerate of remnant spaces and transport functions to create a homogeneous, identity-strengthening unity. His great energy and inventive engagement with the urban-planning context and its existing structures have led to numerous architectural projects that integrate themselves as powerful figures in the urban context and landscape.
