RATAPLAN, established in 1993, is a non-hierarchical office community. Drafts and concepts are developed collectively. RATAPLAN is stylistically open - each project may differ in form - emphasis is rather on the context and uniqueness of a project. As approaches to architecture vary within the rataplan group, so do projects. RATAPLAN worked on housing projects in Vienna, a project for the conversion of an autonomous event center (the arena wien) and an administrative centre in Teltow (near Berlin, Germany) in between 1998 – 2008. Nearly all of RATAPLAN s important projects originate in a tension of social and economic factors - the design strategy is developed from the specific situation. In the years 2009 – 2011 RATAPLAN finished the „Landesmuseum“ in St. Pölten as well as the Office and Residential Building Neutorgasse, in the first district of Vienna. RATAPLAN are: rudi fritz, susanne höhndorf, gerhard huber, martina schöberl, friedel winkler
