Cara Hähl-Pfeifer is a curator and research associate at the Architekturmuseum der TUM and Chair of Architecture History and Curatorial Practice. She holds a Master’s degree in Architecture from the Technical University of Munich, and has previously studied and worked in Mendrisio, Berlin, Karlsruhe and Oxford. 

She has held various positions in architecture, research and teaching, and curatorial practice, combining her interests across multiple disciplines and media. In 2023, she joined the Architekturmuseum der TUM as a curatorial assistant for the exhibition project The Gift: Stories of Generosity and Violence in Architecture. She is co-editor of City in the Cloud – Data on the Ground: The Architecture of Data, published by Architangle to coincide with the eponymous exhibition at the A.M. in 2025. 

Currently, she is working on the upcoming exhibition project Air Conditioned: Architecture between Comfort and Climate Change, a collaboration between the A.M. and the TUM Chair of Building Technology and Climate-Responsive Design. The project investigates how decades of architectural practice have resulted in our reliance on energy-intensive cooling systems that often exceed our actual needs, challenging the socio-technical construct of thermal comfort in a warming world.
