Mayer H., an international award-winning architectural practice founded by Jürgen Mayer H. in 1996 and joined by partners Andre Santer and Hans Schneider in 2014.

The book features an introduction by architect Monica Ponce de Leon and essays by contemporary design curators, critics, and scholars, highlighting J. Mayer H.'s impact on architecture and design. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Princeton University School of Architecture\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJürgen Mayer H.\u003c\/b\u003e founded J.
