Hans Hollein (1934–2014) was an Austrian architect, designer, and theorist who played a crucial role in postmodern architecture. A recipient of the Pritzker Prize (1985), he embraced an eclectic and symbolic approach, blending historical references with contemporary design. His notable works include the Haas House in Vienna, the Abteiberg Museum in Germany, and several innovative retail stores. Hollein also contributed to furniture and exhibition design, emphasizing the integration of art and architecture. His belief that “everything is architecture” challenged conventional boundaries, making him a defining figure in 20th-century design.
