Hans Bissegger

Hans Bissegger

Hans Bissegger (1947–2023) was an architect, interior architect and designer whose work was shaped by a lifelong commitment to craftsmanship and design. After training as a structural draftsperson, he joined the studio of Max Bill, where he further developed his multidisciplinary approach to architecture and design.

Throughout his career, Bissegger worked collaboratively across projects of every scale, from private residential commissions to large public developments. Together with Verena Huber, he realised the innovative Back & Brau project at Linde Oberstrass. His tireless commitment was also instrumental in establishing the Eisenwerk cultural centre in Frauenfeld.

A prolific sketcher, Bissegger captured his ideas in dozens of notebooks throughout his life, creating a remarkable visual record of his creative thinking and design process.
