About

As an architect, researcher, and project manager in the Gesamtleitung team at Penzel Valier, I work at the intersection of architecture, digital transformation, and emerging technologies. As Head of the AI Unit within Penzel Valier’s TEC team, I lead the structured implementation of artificial intelligence in architectural practice, focusing on AI strategy, digital workflows, knowledge transfer, and AI-assisted design and project management. My expertise includes artificial intelligence, extended reality (VR, AR, MR), 3D scanning, 3D printing, BIM, and emerging technologies for architecture and planning. Alongside my architectural work, I have contributed to art exhibition projects through technical solutions, visual content, and digital production for the cultural sector. As a lecturer in immersive technologies at ETH Zurich, I connect academic research, innovation, and professional practice.
