He attended the German primary school in Mediasch and then the Romanian high school in Blasendorf , which he graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1946 . He was supposed to be deported, but fled the transport train and lived underground in Medias. With some friends he fled through Hungary to Austria and studied architecture at the Graz University of Technology .

In 1950 he came to Munich and continued his studies at the Technical University of Munich under Hans Döllgast , Martin Elsaesser , Friedrich Krauss and Franz Hart . After completing his studies in 1953, he first worked for Emanuel Lindner in Osnabrück and Max Ott in Munich, before he went freelance as an architect. In the 1960s he teamed up with a few other architects to form "Group 5", who took part in numerous competitions (including for the Perlach center). He later founded the "Caspari Planning Group", in which his son Michael Caspari was also involved.

Caspari taught architecture at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich , where he held the office of dean several times between 1980 and his retirement in 1991. It was based on the architecture of Le Corbusier .
