ABOUT

My practice is to define now the way we build in the future. We are constantly exploring, experimenting and tinkering with space, material and structure to find new ways for architecture to respond to our current environmental and socio-political challenges.

 

Gustav Düsing studied architecture at the Architectural Association in London and is a registered architect in Berlin. He has participated in numerous art and architecture exhibitions including the first ever Antarctic Biennale (2017) . He is the 2020 recipient of the Rome Prize for Architecture and in 20/21 was an Artist in Residence at the German Academy in Rome, Villa Massimo.

Since 2015 he has taught at different Universities including, the TU Braunschweig, UDK Berlin and in 2021 he was appointed visiting Professor at the University Roma Tre. In 2022 Gustav Düsing was co-teaching a design studio at Cornell University AAP.
