Andreas Rumpfhuber is a practising architect and researcher. His work focuses on new forms of working and living, as well as the interdependency of architecture and economics.

His work is internationally acclaimed. For example, his project ‘Wunschmaschine Wohnanlage’ (Desiring Machine Housing Complex) was the only contemporary Austrian contribution to Dietmar Steiner’s farewell exhibition ‘Am Ende: Architektur’ (In the End: Architecture) at the Architecture Center Vienna (AzW). The same project was presented at the CCA in Montreal in 2018 and exhibited in the exhibition ‘A Section of Now’ in 2021.

The EU research project SCIBE (Scarcity and Creativity in the Built Environment), conceived together with Prof. Jeremy Till (Central St. Martins, UAL), is his largest research project to date, with €1 million in research funding.
