Arno Brandlhuber

Arno Brandlhuber is an architect and urban planner based in Berlin, and Professor of Architecture and Design at ETH Zurich. After founding his first practice in Cologne in 1992, he established brandlhuber+ in 2006 as a collaborative architectural practice dedicated to working across disciplines, offices, and individuals. His work – including Brunnenstrasse 9 (Berlin, 2009), the Antivilla (Krampnitz, 2014), and the conversion of the Brutalist St. Agnes church into an art space (Berlin, 2015) – has earned international recognition for its radical approach to architectural reuse and transformation. Beyond building, Brandlhuber uses publications, exhibitions, and film to create a dialogue between practice and theory, with a particular interest in legislation as a driver of the built environment. His work has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2012, and 2016. In 2023, Brandlhuber co-founded HouseEurope! with Olaf Grawert, a non-profit that brings together industry expertise with policy advocacy. Evolving from a European Citizens’ Initiative with over 80,000 supporters and 250 partners, HouseEurope! embodies his conviction that systemic change in the built environment requires both architectural innovation and legislative transformation.
