Therefore, social engagement forms an important and much enjoyed part of my activities as an architect. This applies especially to the topic of sustainability. I regularly support NGOs in their planning process, as e.g. care home Comeniusheim of the Carinthian social welfare society, Children s Mobile Health Services (Mobile Kinderkrankenpflege, MOKI) or social service organisation Caritas. I am a founding member of Architektur Spiel Raum Kärnten, an initiative that developed an educational programme for children aged 7 to 18 centred on space and architecture.
