Having studied architecture in Germany and Scotland, I joined the School of Architecture in Sheffield in 2004. I have worked in architectural practice in Germany, was a founder member of the workers cooperative Glasgow Letters on Architecture and Space (G.L.A.S.) and the Sheffield-based research centre AGENCY.

My work is concerned with the social and economic mechanisms of the production of the space. I understand architecture as a collaborative, empowering and essentially political discipline.
This focus takes various expressions: sometimes, it is formulated visually or in written form as critique against normative intellectual and pedagogical tendencies; in other instances, it is expressed through direct spatial interventions; and, occasionally, it takes activist dimensions.
The main funded research projects I’ve been working on over the past years include ‘m-NAP’ (with M Edwards), ‘Flexible Housing’ (with J Till), ‘Spatial Agency’ (with J Till) and ‘Right to Build’ (with A Parvin, D Saxby of 00:/ architecture and C Cerulli).
