dieterdietz.org is a platform based in Lausanne and Zurich that engages in public space, architecture, media and urban design. The office structure is built around teams that are specifically formed according to the nature of each specific project. The platform is never hierarchized around people, but revolves around projects and collaborators. Ultimately, partners are always co-authors.
Architecture is conceived as a discipline with accentuated responsibility towards society and the environment: projects are always developed in open and holistic processes. This challenge is lived and shared with partners and clients as engaged members of contemporary societies. Projects at any scale benefit from the know-how of a professional architectural practice and its proximity to the research and teaching environment at EPFL.
Dieter is an architect based in Zurich and Lausanne, founder of dieterdietz.org and professor of architectural design at EPFL in Lausanne, where he directs the ALICE laboratory (Atelier de la conception de l’espace). The work conducted with ALICE and his practice has been awarded the Swiss Art Award, the London Festival of Architecture Main and Signpost Awards, and the Design Preis Schweiz. Exhibitions include contributions to the Venice Biennale of Architecture, the Saõ Paulo International Architecture Biennale, the Shenzhen & Hong Kong Biennale of Architecture, the Beijing Today Art Museum, and Dwell on Design in Los Angeles.
