Michael Hirschbichler works across the disciplines of art, architecture, and anthropology. He is the director of Atelier Hirschbichler and a researcher at TU Delft. His work focuses on spatial constructions in the Anthropocene/Kaiaimunucene, with a particular emphasis on the interrelationship between their material and immaterial aspects (narratives, memories, ideologies, beliefs), between facts and cultural fictions. Michael Hirschbichler studied at ETH Zurich and Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and completed his doctoral dissertation on "Mythical Constructions" at Berlin University of the Arts. He was a lecturer at ETH Zurich, a visiting professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and director of the Architecture Program at the Papua New Guinea University of Technology.
