Gunter Wehmeyer (1970), born in Kassel (GER) got educated with a german Master in Landscape Planning and an advanced Master in Urban Design. Throughout the last 6 years he predominantly worked in Shanghai, Dubai/Abu Dhabi, London and Hong Kong on XXL Urban Design, Infrastructure, Landscape and Masterplanning projects trying to bridge the gap between Megacity urbanisation, Sustainability strategies and overall large scale design concepts.
A curious driven nature, analytical research and cultural sociological understanding are natural enclosed in his design strategy and decision-making. As well as international design experiences, he also has project- and design management skills with a focus on Strategic Design, Design Thinking and Consulting.
In his practice Gunter is working with the interaction of phenomenas like individualisation, globalisation, segregation, suburbanisation and post planning forming a new type of contemporary urban and landscape design.
Throughout these complex, dynamic and simultaneous projects he developed the ability to change and focus his perspective and accepting the inconsistency as a chance to critically initiate change and actively shaping the future. In this way Gunters strategy of being different and working inbetween creative professions delivers and offers a unique quality and hybrid synergy to keep the focus while sensing new opportunities and being alert and aware.
In a time of Complexity overload Gunter is a proactively strategic thinker able to analyze and abstract situations quickly. Strategy for him means getting involved in a long term plan of action designed to achieve and initiate Options for the Transformation of Design and Processes, new forms of communication and a multidisciplinary collaborative culture.
Gunter is currently spending most of his time and energy building a better understanding of the way in which new forces of change can be incorporated into a more effective design and business strategy.
