Trix Haussmann:
Trix Haussmann is an architect and designer based in Zürich, Switzerland, and working with her husband Robert Haussmann (b. 1931). Born Trix Högl, she completed her architectural studies at the ETH Zürich under Werner Max Moser (1896-1970) and Jacques Schader (1917-2007) and became an associate professor of architecture at the ETH Zürich, where she was teaching until 2002.
Approaching design with the intent to reinterpret traditional ornamental style, their techniques focused on illusion, distortion, reflection, and play with scale. The couple referred to their approach as Manerismo Critico, looking at past traditions, pursuing their further development, and providing a new interpretation with a touch of humor.
