LAVA, Laboratory for Visionary Architecture

Tobias Wallisser leads LAVA's Berlin studio, where he integrates his expertise in interdependencies of design and construction to create holistic spaces. Using digital tools and production processes that anticipate future outcomes, he ensures the feasibility of complex designs while enhancing spatial experiences by merging technical, social, and architectural considerations. Wallisser's vision of creating architecture for the digital age transcends traditional divides to foster symbiotic relationships between the individual and the collective, nature and technology, science and imagination. He is a tenured professor of Innovative Construction and Spatial Concepts at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. Wallisser lectures internationally and serves on academic and professional committees across Europe and beyond. As former Creative Director at UNStudio, Wallisser developed novel design methodologies, notably for projects such as the Mercedes-Benz Museum and the Arnhem Interchange. He holds architecture degrees from Berlin and Stuttgart and a Master’s in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University.
