Practice Information

Frei Otto
born 1925

Famous for tent-like structures and interest in learning from nature's patterns

Current architects with a similar focus on natural structures include Jan Kaplicky at Future Systems and to a certain extent Eva Jiricna. Otto's tent-like projects no doubt influenced many of the British Hi-Tech architects such as Chris Wilkinson and Richard Rogers, though the influence of Archigram's lightweight structures also played its part, culminating in projects such as the Imagination building in central London
