Andreas Stanzel

Andreas Stanzel is a now Zurich-based architect working at the intersection of spatial practice, research, and design. He holds a Master’s degree in Architecture from the Bauhaus University Weimar, where his thesis Hotel Interim was awarded both the university’s special prize and the EUmies Awards Young Talent 2025. His academic path includes studies at the Faculdade de Arquitectura do Porto and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, shaping his transdisciplinary approach to architecture.
Andreas has worked with various studios and institutions, including Studio Gründer Kirfel and Summacumfemmer, contributing to projects ranging from adaptive reuse, art in context and cultural spaces to exhibition design such as the German Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale. Alongside office experience, he maintains an independent practice focused on small-scale commissions and research-driven work.
His current interests lie in interim usage and the potential of small-scale infrastructures, with a broader curiosity in how architecture operates across contexts and disciplines. He has contributed to exhibitions, publications, and workshops, and brings a collaborative mindset to all formats, from writing and filmmaking to curation and hands-on building.
