Helmut Koprian, ECE Projektmanagement G.m.b.H. & Co.KG, director of the Centermanagement (ECE is besides TLG the main investor of the Altmarkt-Galerie Dresden): One time captain, than director of a circus and one time a proud rider ... | |
ARE YOU AN ARCHITECT? | No, also if I look like one. I´m a trader and management director of the ECE for all the European objects and I´m the director of the sector Centermanagement. And certainly I´m taking influence on the architecture. |
WHERE ARE YOU FROM? | I´m living in Hamburg for 10 years. |
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU? | It is important to me answering honestly
the questions I have been asked. You will be catched up with dishonesty. A second important point is handling with people. They should feel, that you make yourself responsible for them. And if they will experience that, you will act in unison.E |
WHAT ABOUT DRESDEN? | Dresden is a wonderful capital and has
charme. In the centre it can still happen many new things. Free lots still exists on which new buildings could show "that is a capital" in a even more significant way. |
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK? | My work in allover Germany and Europe is like this, as you would be the captain of a luxury liner. Or a circus director. Or a proud rider for dressage on the back of his horse. |
FUTURE? | My contract of employment will end in 7 years, when I will be 60 years old, and that I don´t want to believe. I´m thinking over, what to do then? But I believe, that you can exercise a profession like this one, which is for me hobby and fascination, endless. |
WHICH QUESTION YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ASKED? | Why I´m looking so satisfied. |
