Über mich
I am an architect, lecturer, and researcher specialising in architectural mediation and have worked at ETH Zurich since 2021 as the Educational Developer of the Department of Architecture.
Prior, I conducted research and taught design studio at the University of Liechtenstein. There, my work focused on new schools of thought in architectural education, PhD by Design, and large-format architectural exhibitions in the landscape. My work has been presented in various [...]
exhibitions, including the International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia (2014 and 2016), and at the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein.
At ETH Zurich, I work on the department’s curriculum development, including revisions for the BSc and MSc in Architecture. I am experienced in leading complex change processes from scoping and stakeholder mapping through consultation, decision-making, and implementation. I have a strong background in project, process, and innovation management, with a particular emphasis on participatory formats that build shared ownership across faculty and students. I develop and apply competence frameworks to support coherent learning trajectories, transparent assessment, and curriculum alignment. I am skilled in community management, facilitating cross-chair collaboration and ensuring effective communication across academic and administrative interfaces.
