HareNiemeyer

HareNiemeyer is a multidisciplinary design studio and art collective known for projects that blend architecture, sculpture, and digital media. Founded in the early 2010s by an international group of designers, the collective operates across Europe, the Americas, and beyond, maintaining studios in Berlin and São Paulo. The practice emphasizes collaboration across disciplines and often works with public institutions and cultural organizations.

Working with parametric design, generative computation, and responsive installations, HareNiemeyer creates large-scale public works as well as intimate gallery pieces. The approach centers on process, experimentation, and site-specific adaptation, addressing themes such as perception, memory, and sustainability, and frequently engaging local communities in the creation or installation phase.

Notable projects include Lattice of Quiet (2013), Fluid Boundary (2016), City Lanterns (2019), and Echoes of Light (2022). These works often pair modular, tactile materials with digital visualization and lighting to transform ordinary urban spaces into experiential environments.

The studio has presented work in international contexts, with exhibitions and commissions in major venues and biennials, and collaborations with curators and public agencies. Critics have praised HareNiemeyer for integrating architectural scale with intimate, sensorily rich installations, and for sustaining a dialogue between technology and craft. Some reviewers note that the intensity of the technical process can overshadow narrative or human scale, but most recognize the group’s distinctive contribution to contemporary interactive environments.
