Point 7 – Lecture Series – Maximilian Hartinger
- Date:
- to
Lectures on 29.10. | 12.11. | 19.11.2026 at 7 pm
Once again this winter semester, the Faculty of Architecture and Design will be holding specialist lectures as part of the Point 7 series. Renowned designers from the fields of architecture, interior design and urban planning have been speaking in the series since 2004.
They discuss their personal approaches, strategies and experiences in project implementation. Their individual perspectives on architectural and built environment issues are also examined. We gain insights into their respective bodies of work and the people behind them.
LESS NEW
This year’s Punkt 7 series is entitled “Less new.”
‘Less new’ does not mean less architecture. It means fewer new builds, less consumption of resources, less grand gesture – and, in return, more attention to what is already there: places, materials, structures, landscapes, stories and social contexts.
The series brings together three contemporary perspectives that engage with the existing built environment in different ways. The focus is on questions of building on existing structures, dealing with the built environment, material integrity and an architecture that does not arise from grand claims, but from precise observation, intelligent interventions and a conscious use of resources.
The next round of talks will be in autumn 2026 with three specialist lectures.
The third lecture we will be hearing is:
MAXIMILIAN HARTINGER | Maximilian Hartinger, Architect, Berlin / Munich

He also works as a set designer and carries out project-based work for the Kooperative Großstadt cooperative in Munich. He was a research assistant at the Institute of Architecture at the Technical University of Berlin and currently holds a visiting professorship in ‘Design and Renovation of Existing Buildings’ at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Dessau. His design-based doctoral thesis explores the significance of narrative design in the renovation of existing buildings.
