Berlin-based Jürgen Mayer H. just might be Germany's first starchitect ince the days of Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe. His office, J. ayer H. Architects (that dangling last letter is actually his middle nitial, tacked on so that the firm name sounds generic and everyman), s just 12 years old—and he's only 42—but he and his 15 staffers have lready produced acclaimed public buildings from Denmark to Spain. And they've developed a signature style that Mayer describes as "beyond the lob."
