Patrik Schumacher

Patrik Schumacher (born 1961, Bonn, Germany) is a London based architect and architectural theorist.

[2] His works includes The Opus Tower in Dubai, the Morpheus Hotel in Macau, and the Beijing Daxing International Airport.

[citation needed] In 1988, Schumacher worked in the design studio of Zaha Hadid, on the Vitra Firestation.

Since its incorporation in the late 1990s, Schumacher served as a director of Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) and is credited as a partner and co-author of the practice's output.

He advocates for the full decentralization and privatization of architecture, planning, and development, envisioning a competitive landscape of mini-polities organized as corporations vying in the market for communal living.
