Professorship of Architecture and Design

Welcome to the website of the Professorship of Architecture and Design.
We explore the intersection of architecture, design, and regional material cultures with a particular focus on bio-based materials, sustainable construction, and circular value chains. Our work engages with the development of regenerative design strategies that respond to ecological, social, and spatial challenges.
Through teaching, research, and collaborative formats, we aim to foster critical reflection and innovation in the architectural discourse. Our projects emphasize experimental, interdisciplinary, and place-based approaches, grounded in a deep awareness of material origin, transformation, and application.
We regularly offer opportunities for students to engage in these topics through design studios, seminars, thesis supervision, and field-based workshops.
We look forward to an exchange of knowledge and inspiring conversations.
