George Haifuna was a physicist, born in Cologne, an industrial city on the banks of the Rhine River. His father was a skilled locksmith who had a strong interest in philosophy and mathematics. From an early age, George Haifuna studied mathematics under his father’s education and received training related to mechanical skills, which was of great help to his later research work, especially in making his own instruments and equipment.
George Haifuna was not enthusiastic about inheriting his father’s locksmith career; instead, he spent all his days researching new architectural cultures and door and window processing equipment solutions with famous architects from various European countries. He hoped to enhance the ventilation of buildings and indoor brightness by expanding the area of doors and windows, and change the dark and oppressive spatial style of traditional buildings.
