After graduating from high school in Santiago de Chile,[1] Martin Jasper was enrolled as an assistant painter of the Ecuadorian painter Oswaldo Guayasamín in Quito, Ecuador.[2] Jasper applied for Berlin University of the Arts (UDK) and moved to Berlin, where he won the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes scholarship.[1] He also studied at the Architecture School of the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso [Wikidata] in Chile and at the Polytechnic University of Milan.[3]

He taught Architectural Design at the School of Architecture of the Zhengzhou University in Zhengzhou, China.[4] He finished his academic training in fine art and painting at the Brera Academy in Milan, Italy.[2]

Jasper worked at the architecture studio Metrogramma Associati, in Milan[5] and at the Berlin office of English studio Foster + Partners.[4][2] In 2008 he founded his own studio, Jasper Architects, based in Berlin, Buenos Aires and Vienna.[6][7]

Martin Jasper obtained the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB [Wikidata]) certificate and has become a promoter and adviser of the DGNB around the world.[8][9][10][11] The DGNB promotes the construction of economical and sustainable buildings.[12]

In 2012, the Central Society of Architects of Argentina [Wikidata] (SCA) presented Jasper with the First Prize for Sustainable Architecture and Urban Design for the project "Casa Eco Solar”, a self-sufficient building built in San Salvador de Jujuy.[13][14][15]

In 2016 Jasper won the competition to transform a mall of the Centrum Warenhaus [Wikidata] chain once in East Berlin into a smart office building named UP! Berlin.[16][17] The mall was erected in 1979[18] next to East Berlin's Central Station (now Berlin Ostbahnhof)[19][20] and the transformation was finished in 2021.[21]
