Joachim Hauser is executive chairman and chairman of the board of Crescent Hydropolis Resorts PLC, a publicly quoted company on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange (CRES.LN) that is franchising and constructing the world’s first underwater hotels, resorts and casinos. Proposed sites for Hydropolis Hotels include Las Vegas, Monaco, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Qingdao, Oman and Dubai.

Mr Hauser developed the Hydropolis concept during the later stages of his tenure with the Deutsche Aero Space Administration (DASA Bremen) in 1999. He was originally retained as an architectural and design consultant to deliver plans for the construction of the world’s first space tourism hotel. When DASA was absorbed into European Aerospace and Defense (EADS), Mr Hauser launched an enterprise to develop his concepts further into the world’s first underwater hotel, Hydropolis.

Over a 30-year career, Mr Hauser has managed and operated his own architectural and design offices near Munich. He has designed, among other large-scale projects, the urban districts of various cities in Germany as well as industrial plants, schools and hospital. He studied Applied Art and Architecture Design at the Institute of Applied Art in Potsdam near Berlin. Following graduation from the Institute of Applied Art in Potsdam with a degree in “Colour Surface Design in Construction”, he trained representatives and employees of the managing body of the Institute of Applied Art. This training activity led him to study general physiology at Humboldt University in Berlin where he earned a degree in “Psychology of Perception". During his career, Mr Hauser has frequently guest lectured in many countries about "Architecture Design". He was born in 1947 in Bitterfeld, Germany.
