About

🙋‍♀️ Hi! I am a passionate architecture theorist and researcher. Currently, I investigate responsibility as a critical concept, seeing it as a generative function in contemporary architecture. 🧠 My goal is to broaden the way we think about architecture practice and its framework conditions. This knowledge can help us understand and develop the agency and expertise of architects. 🗣️ I also shape public discourse as a lecturer, editor and board member. And I try to share my passion with students, colleagues, and readers alike. 💛 Don't hesitate to reach out, I’m open to new adventures, collaborations, and ideas!

    Together with Sigrid Verhovsek and Claudia Gerhäusser I'm navigating the organization and GAT media through times of media consumption change, digital transformation and scarce cultural funding. I truly believe that people have the right to get the possibility of quality information as well as journalists and cultural freelancers getting paid for their work. Not an easy challenge these days.
