(b Lund, 20 June 1953). Swedish architect. She studied at the Architectural Association, London, from 1972 to 1977. She then worked in Paris for two years, and in 1979 she joined the firm Berg Architektkonter in Stockholm. As a leading member of the firm’s design team, she was involved primarily with office buildings and research facilities. One of the most celebrated projects she worked on is the Stockholm Globe (1989), the world’s largest spherical building. A sports arena seating 16,000, the facility also includes training arenas, offices, a hotel and restaurants. An adjoining building, The Triangle, which houses administrative offices, is a glass-encased structure raised on columns. This inventive use of form and space reflects Hatz’s philosophy that architecture has to do with a sense of place and a sense of presence, as well as her interest in the creative use of light. In addition to her design work, Hatz taught at the Royal Technical High School of Architecture, Stockholm, from 1983 to 1986. She is a member of the National Swedish Board of Architects (SAR) and in 1987 was elected to the board of the Swedish Women Architects Association (ATHENA).
