Hans-Walter MULLER

Born in 1935, Hans-Walter Müller was a magician at the age of 14, an experience that has instilled in him a highly personal approach to artistic and architectural work. Graduating from the Technical University of Darmstadt in 1961 as an architect and engineer, he continued his studies in Paris, where he pursued his architectural research using the materials of his time: artificial light, projected images, plastics, and electric motors, all in service of the "architecture of movement" (1965). He belongs to the Kinetic Art movement and is the creator of "Inflatables," constructions with plastic structures held in tension by pressurized air. Hans-Walter Müller has lived in an inflatable house since 1971. He is a visiting professor and lecturer at the ENSAV (National School of Architecture of Versailles). He has collaborated with artists such as Jean Dubuffet, Salvador Dalí, and Maurice Béjart, among others.
