'''Max Dudler''' (born 18 November 1949 in Altenrhein, Switzerland) is a Swiss architect with international fame. The main characteristic of Max Dudler's architecture is a combination of strict Swiss minimalism and classical rationalism that is found both in the historical and contemporary architecture.
==Education and career==
Max Dudler studied at the Frankfurt [Städelschule](/source/St%C3%A4delschule), a contemporary fine arts academy, where he was a student of Günter Bock, and later at the Academy of Arts in [Berlin](/source/Berlin) with Ludwig Leo. He obtained his diploma in 1979.
His first employment in 1981 brought him to [O. M. Ungers](/source/Oswald_Mathias_Ungers), with whom and others he completed the exhibition hall 9 and the Galleria of [Messe Frankfurt](/source/Messe_Frankfurt). In 1986, he established his own firm with Karl Dudler und Pete Welbergen, but since 1992, he started to run the firm with offices in [Berlin](/source/Berlin), [Frankfurt am Main](/source/Frankfurt_am_Main) and [Zürich](/source/Z%C3%BCrich) without a partner.
Dudler has held many teaching positions and had exhibitions both in Germany and Italy, for example, he was a faculty member at IUAV University of Venice [{{Cite web |title=Homepage of the IUAV, retrieved on 30.
