BIO
Hi, my name is Dominic Schwab and I am an architect, teacher and researcher based in Vienna, Austria. Since 2020, I am a faculty member at the ./studio3, Institute for Experimental Architecture at the University of Innsbruck. Currently I am pursuing a PhD with a research focus on the spectralities of media-technologies and how they inform a spatial design practice that reflects on architecture in the age of archives. I have also taught at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and I am a regular academic guest & critic at various institutes, such as the Chair for Digital Architectonics, ITA, ETH Zürich, the Institute for Architecture and Media, University of Graz and the Department for Architecture Theory and the Philosophy of Technics, Vienna University of Technology. Beyond that I gained professional experience in renowned architectural offices, such as Atelier Hans Hollein, Gabu Heindl Architektur and
