Martin Emmerer is an Austrian architect. The new southern wing of the castle museum in Linz can be named one of his most recognised realised buildings. He holds a doctorate degree in technical science, is visiting lecturer and guest critic at different Universities. After co-directing the architecture firm Hope of Glory aka HoG for 15 years he is now practising under the name Studio Emmerer, which sees itself as a collaborative practice that seeks proximity to a wide range of disciplines.

Studio Emmerer follows a clear systemic approach that continues from the design to the detailed planning. "We are developing narratives and spatial principles of order and apply them to the concrete site, then we intently observe what emerges, sometimes we intervene and change or break the rules." In this way, generic thinking enters into a dialog with personal statement, poetry and aesthetics. Studio Emmerer believes in relevance over niceness or passing fads. Therefore, its architecture is clear, radical, and sustainable.

Martin Emmerer's passion for architecture is attended by his expertise in computer aided architectural design and programming. Since 2010 he leads the development of Archilles Pro, a lean AI-driven design tool for architects. Studio Emmerer uses Archilles Pro in all of its design projects and constantly creates concepts for innovative new features that are implemented and tested subsequently.
