Anna-Maria Mayerhofer has been a research associate at the Chair of Sustainable Urbanism since 2024. Her research focuses on the treatment of existing buildings in urban transformation processes, and she is interested in the socio-ecological restructuring of urban and rural areas. She studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
From 2020 to 2024, she worked at the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt am Main. She was part of the curatorial team for the exhibition “Protest/Architecture. Barricades, Camps, Superglue,” which was developed in collaboration with the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna. She managed the “SOS Brutalism” database and has since been exploring the opportunities and challenges involved in engaging with postwar architecture. In the summer of 2024, she held a teaching position in the Department of Design and Spatial Planning (Prof. Johanna Meyer-Grohbrügge) at TU Darmstadt.
In 2021, she worked for the Berlin-based architecture magazine ARCH+ on the issue “Contemporary Feminist Spatial Practice.” At the TUM Architecture Museum, she contributed to the extensive research for the exhibition project “Who’s Next? Homelessness, Architecture, and the City.” Her master’s thesis, “Incidental Complexities: Nine Projects by Young Munich Architecture Firms,” was awarded the Johannes B. Ortner Prize and the Senator Bernhard Borst Prize. As a student representative, she co-initiated the student-organized annual architecture exhibition “AJA.”
In addition, she is involved with the association Architects for Future, advocating for sustainable change in the construction industry. Together with the BDA Hessen, she organized the 2024 poster campaign “Endangered Species on the Bockenheim Campus,” which drew attention to buildings in Frankfurt am Main threatened with demolition.
