WHERE THE ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH BEGAN

ARCHITECTURE

It is my particular curriculum vitae, on one hand as an experienced architect, on the other hand as «Managing Director Research ETH Zurich» with the supervision of many different research projects and with the coordination of the urban planning research between the city of Zurich and ETH Zurich, which gives me an extraordinary background to think about a sustainable city.

Consulting

The city of the future. Few topics inspire the imagination more. Some see us living in giant skyscrapers with plants sprouting on the walls and a forest thriving in the middle with an amusement park. Others predict the end of individual mobility and see the use of autonomous shuttle fleets as the solution. The question here is how do we make our cities smart, because it is in the cities that the future will be decided.

Circular economy – humanity is facing a building material problem. If we continue to consume building materials in this way, we will soon have serious difficulties. We have to be much more careful with our natural resources. Particularly in the construction sector, this requires good planning for new buildings, focusing on durability from the outset and planning for recycling at the end of the building’s service life.
