CHAIR
TIM RIENIETS
Trained as an architect, Tim has dedicated his career to professional research, publishing, exhibition making and teaching in the fields of urbanism. It is the core ambition of his work to investigate contemporary forms of urbanization and urban cohabitation, and to develop appropriate urban design methods. His fields of interest include shrinking cities, informal and entrepreneurial urbanism, cities and conflict, and residential exclusion and inclusion. Tim is currently holding a guest professorship at the Technical University Munich and is working as senior assistant and lecturer at the chair for architecture and urban design at the ETH Zurich.
